Publish in a newspaper

Junior Grady Cartwright Jr. III, a dedicated plumber and cherished companion, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 18, 2025, just days before his 71st birthday. Born on September 24, 1954, in San Diego, California, Junior made Dallas, Texas, his home for much of his life and was a beloved member of the community.
Known for his unwavering work ethic and craftsmanship, Junior took great pride in his career as a plumber. His skill and dedication left a lasting mark on the many people he served, and he was deeply respected by colleagues, clients, and friends alike.
Junior shared his life with his devoted companion, Elizabeth, creating countless memories together. He was a proud father of seven children who were the joy of his life. He is survived by his sons Jason, Christopher, Steven, Shawn, Jeremiah and Joshua, his daughter, Kristen, and his many grandchildren who brought him endless happiness.
Those who knew Junior will remember his generous heart, infectious laughter, and the love he poured into his family and friendships. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on through the lives he touched.
Junior will be laid to rest at Blue Ridge Cemetery in Blue Ridge, Texas.
May he rest in eternal peace, remembered always for the love, laughter, and kindness he shared.
