Daniel Trevor Mabery, 57, of Dallas, Texas, passed away on February 7, 2021. He was born in Rochester, Minnesota on January 20, 1964. Dan attended Trinity Christian Academy, where he graduated high school in 1982. He attended college at Baylor University, class of 86, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in English. He received his Master of Biblical Studies in 1989 from Dallas Theological Seminary, followed by a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Saint Mary’s University in 1995. Dan was a knowledge seeker and forever a scholar. He was motivated by learning, which made him a wonderful teacher to others. He was generous, kind, patient, and understanding. His servant’s heart will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He was married to Cheryl Renae Williams Mabery on June 13, 1987 at Northwest Bible Church in Dallas, Texas. On June 2, 1992, their eldest daughter, Madeline Renae Mabery was born, followed by the birth of their youngest daughter, Miranda Grace Mabery, on October 18, 1995. Family was everything to Dan, his daughters were his world. Above all, he took care of them first, and taught them, alongside his wife, to follow and trust in God through all the ups and downs of life. His faith was steadfast, and he spent much of his free time studying Scripture. He went so far as to write a systematic theology, a feat that few biblical scholars undertake. Some of his biggest inspirations were C.S Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Dante, and Beowulf. He viewed learning, classic literature, and art as treasures to be explored for a lifetime, holding creatives and authors in highest regard.

Dan’s heart and soul radiate beauty. He was an outdoor-loving cowboy, who found the greatest joy in experiencing adventures, rodeos, ranches, and camping trips with his family. His world revolved around Christ and the family with which he was blessed. Dan was preceded in death by his parents Trevor Erwin Mabery and Lucy Wood Mabery. He is survived by his wife Cheryl, daughters Madeline and Miranda, sister Janet Fulmer and brother-in-law Paul Fulmer, brother Steve Mabery and sister-in-law Caroline Mabery, as well as nieces Lauren and Catharine Fulmer and nephews Cal and Jack Mabery. He was loved dearly by each member of his family, as he shared the joy of an eternally youthful and gentle spirit.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Dallas CASA or Trinity Christian Academy. His Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, February 26, at 2:00 p.m. at Bent Tree Bible Fellowship in the Chapel. The family will be receiving guests starting at 1:00 p.m.
