In Loving Memory of Robert (Bob) R. Mack Jr. June 7, 1942 – June 27, 2025

Robert (Bob) R. Mack Jr., a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy marked by love, quiet strength, and enduring wisdom. He was born on June 7, 1942, in Eagle Pass, Texas, raised in the warmth of a close-knit community, Robert's early years were shaped by strong family values and a deep sense of purpose. He graduated from Eagle Pass High School, carrying with him the principles of hard work, integrity, and perseverance—qualities that would define his life and inspire those around him.

It was in Eagle Pass that Robert met the love of his life, Maria Guadalupe Ruiz. Their bond, built on mutual respect and unwavering devotion, blossomed into a beautiful marriage that spanned an extraordinary 62 years. Together, they raised three children—Robert, Bill, and Sandra—each of whom inherited their father’s integrity, intellect, and quiet kindness.

A gifted mind with a passion for numbers, Robert earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Houston. His career in computer programming was marked by excellence and innovation. As a senior computer programmer, he made lasting contributions to companies such as Shell, MW Kellogg, Brown & Root, and McDermott, earning the respect and admiration of colleagues across the industry.

Robert’s professional success was matched only by the joy he found in his family. He and Maria built a loving home in the cities of Plano, Houston, and Katy before settling in Sealy, Texas—a place that became a peaceful haven in their later years.

Robert had a gentle heart, not only for people but for animals as well. Throughout his life, he shared a deep bond with the family pets—dogs and cats who were not just companions, but cherished members of the household. He had a quiet, patient way with them, often found sharing a recliner with a snoozing pup or sneaking treats under the table. His affection for animals reflected his overall spirit: kind, loyal, and full of quiet compassion.
