Maury was my stepbrother and a good friend. We shared many family moments and fun times over the years…. These are treasures I will always hold dear.  He was soft-spoken, a bit timid, and level-headed, providing a calming presence  … With his trademark smirky, boy-like grin always there... that Cheshire Cat smile worked for him ... Maury had a profound love for his family and friends, and his goodness cannot be overstated ... taken from us far too soon, and his absence will be felt deeply. During this incredibly difficult time, my heart and prayers are with his family. I know that their inner strength and love for one another will help guide them as they honor Maury's memory and carry his spirit forward.

Taffy my dear friend, my prayers are with you.  I’m thinking about you and your family. 

Love, Molly

My friendship with Maury began in high school and some weekend times in the Dupree garage. Our friendship grew through our mutual railroad careers.  Too often, life would cause long periods of time to pass between connecting conversations.  He always seemed glad to talk. Always, always kind . He is missed much!
Peace and comfort, Matthew Maury

Missing our old buddy. Love to all the family.💜💜💜

Maury and Ken Arnold were the first 2 guys my age that I met the summer we moved to Temple for 9th grade. Maury was family first and once you were his friend he would give you the shirt off his back to help in times of need. He loved his animals and had a special place in his heart for Prissy. He was a heck of a basketball player and believed in team first. Our Jr. High year was filled with walking to the bowling alley, football/basketball games, school dances, going to the movies, The Texan- Arcadia and Swim Park. The most fun we had was at the Dupree Camp Site on Lake Belton next to Temple Lake Park. Maury was an excellent skier and could really tear up the wake. The Dupree house was our hangout as with 3 other brothers there was always a bunch of kids there having a fun time. A special thanks goes out to Taffy and JC for putting up with a bunch of rowdies as many of us spent more time at their house than our own. Maury was an extremely hard worker and very proud of helping his dad with his moving and cleaning companies. Maury , his brothers and I learned our work ethic working at KFC, moving furniture and cleaning offices, nursing homes, etc… Maury’s dream job was working for Santa Fe Railroad as he worked himself up from a brakeman to a very well respected Senior Engineer. He loved his wife Julie and especially his daughter Jennifer. He beamed with pride over her, Jon, and especially his grandkids, Michael, Matthew and Madelynn. We gave him a hard time for being a Mama’s Boy but now understand how much his mother, Taffy meant to him as he was always ready to go help her at the drop of a hat! The best way to describe Maury Dupree is Family First, Loyal, Protective, Generous, Loving, Caring and especially FUN!!!🤠 Anytime you were around Maury it didn’t take long to be rolling with laughter!!! I had the honor along with our old Bonham Bulldog teammates of sending him off by reminiscing about all our old tales and fun times. My Love goes out to all his family💜💜

Friends since 6th grade Thornton Thunderbirds basketball.   The whole family was nice.   Thanks, Taffy.   Maury was a good friend and I’ll miss him.

I met Maury in 6th grade when he invited me to shoot hoops in his driveway.  We became friends and played pickup games with the rest of the neighborhood guys through high school.  He was always the best player but humble about it and a very nice guy.
