William Tarpley Obituary

We are sad to announce that on August 10, 2021, at the age of 64, William Tarpley of Merkel, Texas passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

He was predeceased by: his father Billy Boyd Tarpley of Merkel. He is survived by: his wife Sherlyn Tarpley; his children, Kayla Brooks (Erik Brooks), Kayce McElreath (Rode McElreath), Kenzie Aguilar (Chris Aguilar) and Clayton Tarpley; his grandchildren, Tayvie McElreath, Kenley Brooks, Jett McElreath, Jase Brooks, Jaxon McElreath and Rylee Brooks; his mother Bobbye Tarpley; and his siblings, Gwen Wetsel of Merkel and Steven Tarpley (Jackie) of Abilene. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

They say the cause of death was COVID but we really believe he just couldn't take listening to another Biden speech.

In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Scott Tarpley Memorial Foundation at P.O. Box 430, Merkel, TX 79536 or stop by Prosperity Bank in Merkel.
