Social media reactions following passing of Mansfield football coach Daniel Maberry

The Mansfield community has loved Daniel Maberry ever since he joined the Mansfield school district 20 years ago.

That was evident on Tuesday when the Mansfield football coach died after a two-year bout with Stage 4 lymphoma. He was released from the hospital and sent home on Monday with hospice.

He was 47.

Mansfield has supported the Maberry family since he was first diagnosed in January of 2018 from Go Fund Me accounts and neighborhood BBQs to help raise money. They also created shirts and wrist bands with #MaberryStrong on them.

The love and support overflowed into social media Tuesday night; here was the reaction on Twitter:
