Obituary & Service
Michael Wayne Meador, of Terrell, passed away January 10, 2019. Mike was born July 13, 1954 in Terrell to Curtis and Dorothy (Golightly) Meador. He was welcomed into Heaven by his parents and his wife, Barbara Meador, and son, Gerald Meador; siblings: Danny Meador, Suzanne Meador, Jerry Meador and Debbie Meyers.
Mike grew up in Terrell and attended Terrell Schools. On May 31, he married Barbara Sue Powell and together they had four wonderful sons: Gerald, Michael, Tony and Bobby. Mike worked in circulation with the Dallas Morning News for over 20 years, as well as working for several local newspaper offices. In August, 1988, Mike lost both his beloved wife and his son, Gerald. During that tragic time, he devoted his life to providing for and taking care of his sons.
Mike enjoyed watching westerns, reality shows that showcased man vs. nature and cheering for the Dallas Cowboys. When Mike was in town, he was often found at City Barbershop catching up with his friends or at Cowboys Quik Stop, visiting and buying Scratch-Off tickets. He loved to play dominos and had a competitive spirit. His grandchildren had him wrapped around his finger and they always knew their Big PawPaw loved them very much. Mike’s memory will be treasured by all who knew him. Even though his family will miss him greatly, they take immeasurable comfort in knowing that he is together again with Barbara and Gerald.
