Maverick Locklear Obituary


MAVERICK GREY LOCKLEAR, 7, of Julian, WV passed away Saturday, January 31, 2026 at Cabell Huntington Hospital surrounded by his family.
Maverick had a rare gift for making everyone smile and laugh. He spread joy that was truly contagious and never faded. He naturally became the heart of every room he entered. He was known by many and loved by all. His hobbies included music, movies, playing in the water, and long walks in warm weather.
Left to cherish Maverick's memory are his parents, Dale and Victoria Locklear, and his siblings, Myles, Mayzin, Maddison, and Elisabeth Locklear of Julian, WV; grandparents, Angela and Johnny Conn, Tony Angel, and Quincey Locklear; great-grandparents, Cheryl and Thomas Miller and Michael Angel; and uncles, Larry Runion and Dakota Adkins; and aunts, Lara Adkins and Amber Locklear.
Preceding him in death are his great-grandmother, Mae Belle (Sue) Angel, and his aunt, Teresa Angel.
A memorial service for Maverick will be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, February 6, 2026 at Lavish in South Charleston, WV. Handley Funeral Home in Danville, WV is assisting the family.
