Michael R. (Mike) McQuerry of Wichita Falls passed from this life on August 10, 2020 surrounded by his family. He was 70 years of age.
Mike was born in Wichita Falls on October 5, 1949, to Boyd A. McQuerry and Margaret Lee Wooldridge. He married the love of his life, Beverly P. Malloy, fifty-two years ago. Their courtship began as high school sophomores when Mike coerced the teacher into assigning Beverly to be his partner in Biology class. Mike graduated from Midwestern State University with B.A. in English.
Mike and Beverly raised two sons, Michael and Shawn.
Mike proudly served in the US Army and the Military Police, and was honorably discharged November 29, 1988. He was a man with many talents and interests. First and foremost, he was a loving and devoted husband and father. He was an avid gun collector, enjoyed collecting knives, and was a member of the NRA. He was well-liked in the Wichita Falls Gun Collector Community. He was a member of the American Legion, and loved playing Santa Claus every Christmas. He was passionate about football, wrestling and boxing, John Wayne, the History Channel, and loved bad movies. He was also an avid coin collector and trivia fan. He was known for his witty quips, such as “gray hair is caused by fluorescent lights.” He was renowned for his adoration of penguins, and has an impressive collections of penguins of every size and type.
He was a member of City View Baptist Church.
Those preceding Mike in death are his parents and a son, Michael Shannon.
Those remaining to cherish his memory are his loving wife Beverly and his son Shawn McQuerry, a host of relatives and friends,his terrifying Pomeranian guard dog Buddy, and his cat Socks.
Visitation is scheduled on Sunday, August 16 at Hampton Vaughan Crestview Funeral Home from 5-7 PM, and a celebration of his life will be held on Monday, August 17, at 10 AM at Hampton Vaughan Crestview Funeral Home Chapel, with interment following at Hampton Vaughan Crestview Memorial Park.
Mike was a great friend with a giant spirit. He had a heart as big as Texas, and an expansive intellect. I'm honored to have been his friend and classmate in high school and college, and am thankful he was blessed to have had a wonderful, loving wife in Beverly. This old world has lost someone very special, but whose memory will live in our hearts forever. May God bless Mike, his family and friends. While the time of sorrow is mercifully short, rejoicing is forever.
