Orbin Jay Purcell Sr., age 81, of Grosvenor, passed away October 31, 2025. Born in Grosvenor, Texas to Nita Belle Meador Purcell and Fred Scott Purcell, Orbin spent his life rooted in the place he loved most. OJ’s family will host a visitation from 1 to 2 PM on Tuesday, November 4th at Heartland Funeral Home in Early, with Graveside services immediately following at Greenleaf Cemetery in Brownwood.

He worked as a cement truck driver for Ingram Enterprises for about 20 years, where he was known for his hard work, reliability, and friendly spirit. Outside of work, Orbin found his greatest joy in simple pleasures – camping, fishing, and raising chickens. He had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and a quiet strength that drew others to him.

Family was at the heart of everything Orbin did.
