He was first diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in January 2018. He was forced to sit out of the 2018 season while he received treatment.
After his death, the Mansfield community held fundraisers in an effort to pay off the Maberry family’s home mortgage.
Mansfield ISD said Maberry left behind a legacy of having faith and finding joy no matter what the circumstances are.
