Michael "Tex" Glenn Molyneux
Newberg, Ore.
Michael "Tex" G. Molyneux, a resident of Newberg, Ore., passed Nov. 30, 2022, in the comfort of his home. Michael was born May 3, 1969, in Marion, Iowa, to Linda Tharp and Wayne Molyneux. Michael grew up with his stepmother, Emma and father, Wayne Molyneux. They moved Michael from Iowa to Texas before he ended up in Oregon, where he got his GED.
He started going by the nickname, Tex, and joined the job corp. Michael, or as many loved to call him Tex, was the kind of person to start up a conversation with just about anyone and would have a way of connecting with them that made them feel special or one of a kind. He was a collector of vintage records, comics, skulls and a variety of collector's items. He loved to spend time with his daughter Jorden, or one of his many friends. He loved to window shop on a rainy day or listening to music. Tex was quite the comedian.
Michael is survived by his daughter, Jorden George; father, Wayne; his mother, Emma; along with his siblings, Dwayne, James, Taffy and Robbie Molyneux of Marion, Iowa.
He was preceded in death by his birth mother, Linda Tharp.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Jan. 21, at Light House Church, 24702 SW Grand Ronde, OR 97347. A meal will be provided after services.
