- Obituary:
Possum McGinty was born on September 11, 1946 in Brazoria County, Texas to Melba (Andrus) and Bill McGinty and passed away on August 6, 2015 at the age of 68. Possum was a one of a kind, burley and amazing man. He lived life the way he wanted to. He loved to have fun. He didn't take anything from any one, but if you needed something, he was the first to help. Possum was one of those people; you either loved him or you didn't.
He loved life and loved his wife and kids, not only in words but in actions. They never needed anything; he saw to that, what ever it took. He was a daddy that was always there in good times and bad. He taught his kids and grandkids how to handle what ever life threw at them and he tried his very best to help them. He loved them all the same and even thought there were times when they had it hard and he expected more from them. He only wanted them to have more than what he had when he was growing up. He wanted them to make something out of themselves. As always, he didn't express it the way others would, but he made sure he said it anyway.
Possum loved his family with his whole heart, but to him there was only one person that could ever be the best and that was his wife, Debra. She was Possum's life and he wanted her to have the best of everything and worked hard to see that the love of his life was always happy. Possum always said that she was his best friend.
He loved to cook and made the best home made rolls. Possum also loved to pick up cans. He would sell them and give the money to his kids or people who needed help. He also loved to stop and talk with people. He would ride his golf cart and take his great grandson with him.
Possum and his family lived in North Zulch for the past 37 years and were members of the Iola Worship Center.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Tom & Ronnie McGinty; his mother-in-law, Irma Vice; brothers-in-law, Doug Vice and David Stephens.
Survivors include: his wife Debra McGinty; son, Charley Bill Stark; three daughters, Tiffany McGinty, Kay Anderson & husband, Anthony, Karla Garza & husband, Edward; three brothers, Sam McGinty, James McGinty & Billy Ray McGinty and a sister, Donna Kay Davis. He is also survived by his grandchildren and great grandchildren: Chaciti Bradford & husband, Kedrick, Tyce Alexander, Possum McGinty, Levi Stark, Faith McGinty, Steven Kapeel, Jonathon Kapeel, Dustin Kapeel and Kavin Bradford and Killian Bradford.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
