Robert Patrick Ball

February 20, 1947 – July 11, 2025

Robert Patrick “Bob” Ball, born on February 20, 1947, in Buffalo, New York, went to be with the Lord unexpectedly on July 11, 2025. He was 78 years old.

Bob was preceded in death by his first wife, Belinda Ball, with whom he was blessed to share 31 years of marriage, and by his second wife, Helen Maynard Ball, with whom he found love again and shared four special years before her passing.

He lived a full and beautiful life defined by adventure, laughter, and love. Whether traveling, sharing stories, or spending time with those he cared for, Bob brought joy to everyone around him. He loved deeply, laughed often, and lived life on his own terms-with fun, heart, and generosity.

Bob is survived by his loving fiancée, Katrina Arroyo Kimble of Poolville, Texas; his devoted son and daughter-in-law, Bryan and Jessica Ball of Lucas, Texas; and his beloved granddaughters, Emma, Olivia, and Nora Ball, also of Lucas, Texas. He is also survived by his sisters, Maureen Ball-Earhart of Las Vegas, Nevada; Kathleen Flatau of Glendale, Arizona; and Colleen Hering of Allen, Texas, along with many cherished nieces and nephews.

Bob was truly one of a kind—a great man, dearly loved and deeply missed. There will never be another like him.

A celebration of Bob’s life will be held on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 3:00 PM at Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home in Colleyville, Texas. A reception will follow the service.

Interment will take place on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at Sandy Creek Cemetery in Milano, Texas.
