Robert Barham Family Funeral Home is honored to be entrusted with the arrangements.

Mr. Ball, 87, of Lauderdale, passed away Monday, October 4, 2021 at Tom C. Maynard Rehabilitation Center of Meridian.

Mo Ball walked through fire and came out of it stronger. He was an inventor, engineer, mechanic, philosopher, and loving human. His heart, mind, and home were always open to new possibilities. Mo was also an explorer. He built a cabin in Canada and traveled to Guatemala to make new friends. Mo Ball lived life fully, including amassing over a million miles of motorcycle riding. He was someone who let you know exactly where you stood with him, and that quality ensured the esteem and love of so many people who honored his loyalty and general trustworthiness.

Mr. Ball is survived by his son, Andy Ball, his daughter-in-law, Gaby Muralles-Ball; his grandchildren, Almond and Jamie, and other extended relatives.

Mo is preceded in death by his son Bobby and his wife, Cathy Ball.

The Ball family requests memorials be made as donations to St. Jude Children’s Hospital in lieu of flowers.
