We are deeply saddened by the loss of Coy O'Neal, a treasured DISD alum.
Mr. O'Neal passed away at the age of 91 last week on Friday, Aug. 2. Known as the DISD "Down Box Man" for 70 years, O'Neal was a hometown hero and constant sideline presence at Eagle football games. He brought joy, smiles, and endless memories to the entire community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and loved ones as they lay Mr. O'Neal to rest. Visitation and funeral services are planned for this week. The Hawkins Funeral Homes website has details: https://www.hawkinsfuneralhome.com/obituary/Coy-ONeal.
