ROBERT WAYNE BURD
Some called him BOB, or BOBBY, or COACH


Robert, the beloved SON of George and Penny Burd was born on September 10, 1961 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and was lifted up into his Heavenly Home by our Lord God Almighty on March 9, 2019.
In December of 1962 Bobby’s family moved from Albuquerque, NM to Irving, TX where he attended Irving ISD schools and graduated from MacArthur High School in May1980. He was an active member of Plymouth Park Methodist Church Youth Group where he participated in various special programs and events. One of his most cherished accomplishments was becoming a member of the Irving Boys’ Choir where he developed a love for Music and Singing that became one of the joys of his life.
In May 1986 Bobby graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education with a Minor in Biology from North Texas State University. During his college years he was very active in Lambda Chi Fraternity. After graduation Bob married his college sweetheart, Kimberly Maddox. They settled in Plano where he began his DREAM Career as a teacher where he loved teaching Biology and coaching football. This is when his name changed to “COACH”. While living in Plano, Bob and Kim started their family. They had two beautiful daughters, Camille Elizabeth and Hannah Nicole.
In 1999 Bob left Plano to take a teacher/coaching position at Carrollton Creekview High School at which time the family relocated from Plano to Corinth. A Senior Superlative Certificate was awarded to Bobby by Carrollton Creekview High School for “Teacher of the Universe”. The family quickly became very involved in the The Church of Corinth. Bob spent many hours volunteering and taking on special projects. He loved serving the members of the church and the community.
Bobby loved dogs, including Charlie Brown’s Snoopy, his ’66 Mustang Convertible and cookouts with family and friends. He was known for his deep love and devotion to his family. Family Reunions at Lake Tahoe were some of the most memorable moments of his life.
Bob touched so many lives with his love, gifts & talents from within our family, church members, classroom students, student athletes, school administration, pier coaches and staff, and many friendships. Bobby was a gifted athlete and excelled in every sport from grade school on and even into college and after. He will be remembered for his kindness, heart of gold, sense of humor, going the extra mile and his engaging smile. A recent email from a college fraternity brother said “I'm broken...at the thought of losing such a Great Personality from this world.”
Bob is survived by his parents George and Penny Burd; daughter Camille Fuqua, her husband Adam and granddaughter Faye Elizabeth; daughter Hannah Nicole Burd; sister Becky Moore, her daughter Christa Burd, Christa’s daughter Lily Ingles and her sons JT Burd and Jason Burd; sister Cheryl Armstrong, her husband Jarrett, and their 4 boys Scott, Reece, Jace, and Mitch; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews.
Our Family Circle will not be the same without Bobby……a Son, Daddy, Grandpa, Brother, Uncle and so many more. He is deeply LOVED and will be MISSED by ALL.
