Antonio Horton Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jul. 9, 2025.
Antonio Maurice Horton, 50, of Wingate, North Carolina departed this life on July 6, 2025. He was affectionately known as Maurice ("Mau") by those close to him. His transition, though deeply felt in the earthly realm, is a reminder that he is now shining as bright and he stands tall in the heavenly dominion.

Antonio was born August 22, 1974 to H. Bernard Horton and Shirley Watkins Jarmon, in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was the youngest son, or baby boy as his mother called him. In his youth, Antonio excelled in athleticism, with basketball and baseball being his gift. Antonio was a graduate of Charlotte Mecklenburg schools and served as a Logistical Coordinator for a number of firms in the Charlotte area.

Antonio was preceded in death by his mother, Shirley Jarmon. Shirley instilled the Word of God, the benefit of hard work, and the value in following through at an early age. Antonio used those foundational lessons to traverse through life's pathways, obstacles and hurdles. As a dedicated and devoted father, Antonio imparted those same values onto his children.

He leaves to cherish and celebrate his memory, his daughter Ebony (Justin) McDonald of Harrisburg, NC, his son, Jaylon McClinton of Lowell, NC, his daughter Maiah Duke of Charlotte, NC and grandson Daxton Kai (Ebony & Justin). Additionally, he is survived by his brothers, Darryl B. Horton (Lynn) of Greenwood, SC, Eric Horton of Charlotte, a host of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, two Nieces, a Nephew, and a great-Niece.
