Aubrey Claire (AC) Halsell Jr, 85, of San Antonio, Texas passed away on May 15, 2022. He was born November 14, 1936 in Louisville, Kentucky. Known as “AC” he graduated High School at Ovid Central High School, Ovid New York, where he was a 4-sport athlete and class president. He went on to Baylor University, where he met his future bride, Margaret Fay Moulder, and 4 years later graduated from Baylor University in May 1958. Their 61 year marriage began September 5, 1959 in Liberty Texas and lasted until Margaret’s passing December 20th, 2020. AC received his commission in the US Air Force while at Baylor and completed 20 years of service through 4 active duty and 16 years as a reservist. AC majored in Finance so over the years he worked for 10 years at First National Bank in Memphis Tennessee and then another 10-year period in financial investments at the Annuity Board of the Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas Texas. He also loved sports and coaching, so after earning a teaching certificate, he coached football and basketball for several years in San Antonio, Memphis, and Plano, Texas. He shined in his role as a father and as a servant leader giving his time to his family and church as a deacon, Sunday School teacher, missions committee member, and teaching English as a second language through his local church. He loved traveling with family and attending all kinds of events with them. He loved Jesus and his family and sacrificed everything else for these two priorities.

AC is survived by his daughter Dawn Halsell, son and his wife Doug and Susan Halsell, granddaughter and husband Mikayla and Garrett Ashley, and grandson Daniel Halsell. He is also survived by brother-in-law Weldon Moulder, niece Carrie Moulder, and numerous cousins on both sides of the family.
