Albert Merrill Obituary
Albert Henry Merrill, III went on to his Heavenly Home on Monday, May 27, 2019.
He died peacefully in his sleep. Albert was the most courageous and generous person one could ever meet and a role model for all of us.
He is retired from North East Independent School District and leaves behind many friends there. Albert was confirmed and attended Sunday School for many years at Christ Episcopal Church.
All his loving family will miss him more than words can say. He had such a positive affect on all of our lives. Albert was preceded in death by his father, Albert H. Merrill, Jr.; his brother, John Stephen Merrill and sister-in-law, Kelly Merrill. Albert is survived by his mother, Helen Heye Merrill; brother Doug Merrill and his wife Maria Monica, nephews; Nick Merrill, Zachary Merrill (Taylor), Tanner Merrill, Rodrigo Jordon (Ninfa) and Ricky Jordon. Nieces; Kayla Merrill Rozelle (Winston) and Brenda Vidal (Thomas). Great-nephews and nieces; Boston, Rodrigo, Tommy, Lily, Presley, Valentina and Uma. Uncles; Roy Barry, Red Gray and aunt Elizabeth Barry along with their families and so many other close family members and friends.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Swift and all the many wonderful doctors and nurses at University Hospital. Also, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Tenner for their excellent care and compassion for Albert. Much thanks to Kindred Hospice and to the many wonderful parishioners at Christ Episcopal Church along with a special thank you to Pastor Patrick Gahan for all their sincere prayers.
Albert loved nothing more than being with family and friends for a backyard barbeque, many fun Family Reunions at Port Aransas and weekend trips to his brother Doug's ranch. Albert enjoyed cooking and made wonderful hamburgers. He gave so much of himself to family and friends and was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone.

Hi Helen - so many years pass so quickly and our challenges in our lives require us to lean on our faith. I was so sorry to just learn of your sons' loss. I don't do any social media as I stay so busy just living life. Please contact me on my husband's email - [email protected] if you wish to talk about old times. I still care. Janette Platt Moya

I'm so proud and blessed to have Albert as my cousin! When the Lord spoke of the Fruits of the Spirit, I'm sure all would agree, Albert embodied each one in particular kindness and gentleness. Uncle Al and Aunt Helen raised three magnificent gentlemen. Heartbreaking to loose Albert, but when i think of the reunions in Heaven - brings such joy. Love yall...

My prayers go out to you all. Al was such a wonderful family man and always spoke of you lovingly. He was a good friend for many years, almost a brother since we worked side-by-side so long. He will be greatly missed by many. He was beloved. Blessings on you all as well as God's peace, strength and comfort. Gloria Howarton, co worker and friend. Linden, Virginia May 30, 2019

All of our prayers are with your Merrill family. We all grew up together from Ridgeview Elementary School, Nimitz Middle School to LEE H.S. and working at the Olmos Theatre. We have too many great memories to count and have recently enjoyed getting together for lunch in our "older" years. We love and pray for you, Jeff Thornell and Family

Al has always been such a sweet dear man. He was always joking with me about his mom being my assistant on the special needs bus, but Helen is a dear woman. I could see where Al got his big heart from. God bless you all.
To all the Merrill family, our sincere condolences. Al was a co-worker, friend and inspiration to all at North East ISD. As a trainer, Al gave everything of himself to those he trained and worked with. He will continue to be a "role model" for those of us
