W. Hurley McBride

W. Hurley McBride, 78, of Asheboro, North Carolina, passed away on Friday, February

6, 2026, at Alpine Health and Rehabilitation.

Hurley was born August 2, 1947, in Asheboro, to Willis M. McBride and Irene Hughes

McBride. After graduating from Farmer High School, he joined the Coast Guard and

served his country for four years. After the military, Hurley returned to Asheboro where

he worked for Texfi Industries before owning and operating Farmer Station and three

local Stop & amp; Shop convenience stores. Much of his professional career was spent as a

delivery driver for Briles Oil & Gas and later for Randolph Oil Company. Prior to his

dad's passing, one of Hurley's favorite pastimes was working with his dad on projects

such as bailing hay, building fences, and regularly attending local antique/estate sales.

Over the years, Hurley enjoyed riding his Honda motorcycles with his wife, showing his

dad's restored 8N Ford tractor with his son, and exercising and socializing with the Rock

Steady Boxing group.

In addition to his parents, Hurley was preceded in death by his sister, Sheila McBride

McCain and infant brother, Charles Anthony McBride.

Hurley is survived by his wife, Susan Beacham McBride; children Karen McBride Hall,

Amy Ferree (Jeff), and Greg McBride; stepdaughters Kristin Venable (Brian) and Kim

Shankle (Buck); grandchildren Dalton Hall (Holley), Jake Hall (Kaylie), Chelsea Smith

(Dalton), Taylor Ferree, and Emma Ferree (Grant); and six great-grandchildren.

A casual service (yes, blue jeans are perfectly acceptable) is planned for Friday,

February 13, at 1:30 PM at Midstate Cremation and Funeral Service in Asheboro. The

family will receive friends an hour prior to the service. A private burial is planned.
