Woodrow "Woody" Talley

A beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother, Woodrow “Woody” Talley, passed away on Wednesday, December 13, 2023 in Seguin, Texas at the age of 57. Woody was born on September 30, 1966 in Seguin to Francis M. (Mills) and Glenn M. Talley.

Woody was happiest when he was on the water fishing, sitting on the beach taking in the warm Gulf breeze, or just riding through the hill country on his old Harley, but Woody also had an incredibly creative and artistic side. He loved to cook and share his dishes with friends and family as well as spend hours building and crafting beautifully detailed works of art from mediums including scale modeling, woodworking, wood-burning and painting that he'd gift to those he loved.

Woody was a private man who kept his circle small, close and safe; and he enjoyed the peace of living a simple life. Woody wasn’t much for small talk, but he was wise beyond his years and was always willing to help anyone - anytime. He was everyone’s go-to guy for help and he'd always find a way, figure it out, draw up some plans and make it happen. While Woody’s passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, we take comfort in the memories and love we all shared. He knew Christ as his savior and though he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him, we can take solace in knowing he is now home.

Woody was preceded in death by his parents Glenn Talley and Francis Mills. He is survived by his loving wife, Mary Talley; daughter, Samantha Talley and Andrew; son, Phillip Talley and Christine; sister, Bonnie Talley; brother, Barrett Talley and wife Amanda; sisters-in-law, Donelia Jimenez, Beatrice Astran and Daniel, Minerva Adam and Andrew, Rosario Scheffel, Mary Ann Vela and Robert, Gloria Escobedo and Guadalupe, Rita Garza and Manuel, Eva Corona and Efren, brothers-in-law, Jesse Rodriguez, Felix Rodriguez and Mary, Antonio Rodriguez and Naomi; step-children, Joel Torres and Denise, Eric Torres and Cindy, Jason Torres and Kelly, Julissa Ann Torres and Armando; grandchildren, Justin Jr. and Avryana Palomo; 14 step-grandchildren and 15 step-great-grandchildren; and his fishing buddy, Harley.

A seaside memorial celebrating Woody’s life will be held at a later date.
