Mr. Mckinney Roseberry
April 27, 1934 — May 17, 2014
Curtis McKinney (Kinney) Roseberry, founding owner & operator of Roseberry Construction Company from 1969-87, went to be with the Lord Saturday, May 17, 2014. Visitation will be 6 to 8 pm on Thursday, May 22, 2014, at Emerald Hills Funeral Home in Kennedale. On Friday, May 23, 2014, at Pleasant Ridge Church of Christ in Arlington, viewing will begin at 9:30 am until the funeral service begins at 10 am. Burial will immediately follow.
Curtis believed in working hard, helping people, caring for family, and, most of all, serving God. Kinney, as he was known by most of his extended family, grew up during the depression with 8 brothers and sisters, and he went to work to help support his family when he was 14 years old - a pattern he continued even until he neared 80. Curtis became a Christian, when he was 29 and served God for 51 years. He founded and operated Roseberry Construction Company from 1969 to 1987 in Kennedale, Texas, where he resided and was a beloved community member of 45 years. Poppy, as he was called by his grandchildren, used his abilities to help others and to make their lives better - repairing cars, building homes, fixing problems, & even making toy stilts for his grandkids at Christmas.
He was preceded in death by his parents William Walter Franklin & Odie Vernon (Hart) Roseberry; his sons Curtis Wayne & Karl Dwain; & his sisters LaRue Burleson, Elsie Fuller, & Dorothy Mayfield. He is survived by his son David Roseberry & wife Daina of Mansfield, Tx; daughter Tammy Patterson & husband Eddie of Kennedale, Tx; daughter Karen Leann Murphy & husband Mike of Alexandria, LA; daughter Kathy Ford & husband Les of Keller, Tx; daughter Karol Adrion & husband Mark of Aledo, Tx; wife of 54 years Delongo Lucille (Jane) Roseberry; grandchildren Karley, Haley & Hannah Adrion; Brett, Sarah, Garrett & Abby Ford; Amanda & Amber Roseberry; Patrick & Colten Murphy; Joshua Patterson & wife Kim, Stephen Patterson & wife Rachael, Laura Cunningham & husband Grant, Andrew Patterson; Jeremy Roseberry, Audria Hastings & husband Caleb, Patricia McAfee & husband Carl, Cherrie Bradberry; great-grandchildren Saydie Roseberry, Samuel & Benjamin Patterson, Micah & Nathan Patterson, C.J. & Beckett McAfee, Axton & Archer Hastings; sisters Annette Herriage, Jannette Martin & husband Ronnie; brothers Doyle Roseberry & wife Barbara; Vernon Roseberry & wife Ida; & Jack Roseberry & wife Ann; many nieces & nephews, other relatives & dear friends.
