Aubrey Quinn Elliott was born in Gilmer, Texas to Leo and Vola (Borden) Elliott, November 13, 1937, and passed away peacefully Saturday, May 28, 2022, in Houston, Texas. During his incredible 84 years of life, Aubrey was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, and proudly served his county in the United States Army and the Army Reserves for 6 years.

Aubrey loved music and was a talented singer and guitarist. After graduation from Lufkin High School in 1956, he followed in the footsteps of his big brothers and formed a band, The Toners. While playing “gigs” nights and on weekends, Aubrey began his career with Southern Pacific Railroad, in the transportation industry.

In 1965 he met the love of his life, Carolyn Capps and they relocated to Houston, Texas in 1972 where Aubrey worked as Transportation Manager for St. Regis Paper Corporation. He distinguished himself professionally, as President of The Transportation Club, 1984 Transportation Man of the Year, Director of Delta Nu Alpha, and served on numerous committees.

Carolyn and Aubrey were blessed with two daughters, Kimberly and Jacqualine. A dedicated family man, Aubrey always put his family first. His love for music was only surpassed for the love he had for his family.

In 1991 Aubrey took on a new role of “Papa E”, adoring grandfather. He loved spending time and performing with his grandchildren.
