Adam Bob Jr.

second child of Adam Bob, Sr and Pamella Bob’s three children. The family relocated to

Lafayette, Louisiana during his primary school years and where Adam graduated from Northside

High School in 1985. It was at Northside where Adam became a standout athlete, achieving State

records and accolades in wrestling and football, much so to some, legendary status.

After graduating high school, Adam attended Texas A & M University in College Station, TX

where he studied sociology and achieved numerous honors by leaving his all on the Aggie

football field as a linebacker. Adam received MVP during the 1988 Cotton Bowl Classic. And it

was because of his hard work and performance, he was drafted to the NFL’s New York Jets in

1989. Adam went on to play World League Football with the Montreal Machine in Montreal

Canada after his tenure in the NFL. After a rewarding football career, Adam went on to become

a successful operations manager for a national logistics company where he mentored and

inspired many.

Adam united in holy matrimony with Runzia Vurshia Moore on December 23, 1995. This union

brought forth three daughters, Adamia, Hailey, and Tiffani, and one son, Addison. Adam truly

loved his family and dotted on his children. One his proudest moments was his oldest daughter’s

graduation from his beloved Texas A & M University in May 2019, in which he was able to attend

in spite of his illness. As such, one of his biggest regrets is not seeing the other three children

graduate from their perspective colleges they are attending. But they know he will be there in

spirit with the best seat in the house.

Adam was very involved with the children’s sports activities, from little league football,

basketball, volleyball, track and cheer to ballet recitals and dance competitions. He even

coached little league football for several years. Being the sports enthusiast he was, he always

tried to make every game and recital the kids had, home or away.

Adam was fortunate to have great and loyal friends, in every phase of his life. People were

easily drawn to him and his kind, humble and honest spirit…and his BBQs. Adam never met a

stranger.

Adam dedicated his life to Christ at Antioch Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church in Dallas,

Texas. Left to cherish his love, wisdom, and memories are his wife of 23 years, Runzia Vurshia

Bob; three daughters, Adamia Noel Bob, Hailey Argene’ Bob, and Tiffani Armani Bob; one son,

Addison Jacoby Bob; his mother, Pamella Noel Bob (late Adam Bob, Sr); two siblings, Mary

Grace (Sidney) Massey and Brenda Lee Angelle and a host of nieces, nephews, and other

relatives and friends.
