During high school, he played for the Alice Coyotes as a right guard and was honored to be selected as Football Captain during his Senior year in 1955. Although Aubrey loved playing football, he also developed an early passion for playing golf, a sport he pursued throughout high school and college, as well as during law school and throughout his adult life. Aubrey took great delight playing in Pro-Ams with many PGA Senior Pros. He was particularly proud of winning the Dallas Pro-Am with his good friend, Tom Wargo. Also, he took great delight in his 1st Hole-in- One at age 84!

Aubrey and Barbara shared 33 years of marriage. They shared their mutual love of one another, their love of family and friends and their love for their two dogs, Blue and Buddy. Throughout their marriage, they shared many interests, including traveling to Colorado and Utah to ski, fish, and play golf, as well as sailing in the Gulf Coast waters. Aubrey was always surrounded by his family and shared so many adventures with each family members.
 
    Aubrey cherished his parents, his brothers, his children, his grandchildren, his nieces and nephews, and cousins – he loved us all and when we were with him, he made each of us feel most special. Aubrey celebrated deep friendships that lasted a lifetime, and he was certainly loved by his family and friends for his kind heart and generous spirit. Despite his declining health, Aubrey maintained a positive attitude and focused on the welfare of others, including his clients and friends.   

Aubrey was blessed with a brilliant mind, an enormous heart, and an adventurous spirit. He loved life.  He loved nature. He loved setting and achieving personal goals and believed in working hard and playing hard. He believed in celebrating every aspect of life.  

Most importantly, Aubrey was a strong Christian who loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His faith in Christ, his love for his family and friends, and his love for God’s amazing world will live long in our hearts and memories. Our family and friends cherish the triumph of a life well-lived, and a heart most-loved. We are confident in the wonderful promise of Jesus that one day we will be reunited and will move into an eternal celebration of our love for our Lord and for one another.  

Our family will host a gathering of friends and family in San Antonio to celebrate Aubrey’s remarkable life and will share the date and details of the arrangements as soon as plans are completed.
