Robert was born in Fort Worth, Texas to Raymond Oliver Pettigrew and Dorothy Jean (Crouch) Pettigrew on November 14, 1960. Robert graduated from Copperas Cove High School in 1979. He married his high school sweetheart, Lori Jeanette Jernigan on July 31, 1981. Robert graduated from Central Texas College. He held a dual Associates degree in Business Management and Mid-Management. After a short career in grocery retail, Robert pursued his true calling of becoming a peace officer. Robert started his career with Bell County in 1993 as a correctional officer. He was promoted to deputy and held a Master Peace Officer certification. He was the D.A.R.E. Officer for Bell County for many years. This was one of his most loved assignments. He was currently an Operations Sergeant with Bell County Sheriff’s Department. Robert considered it a great honor to participate as a member of the Bell County Sheriff’s Department Honor Guard as the bagpiper.
Robert was a Master Mason of Mount Hiram Masonic Lodge #595.
Robert’s greatest honor was to serve as an elder for the congregation of the Copperas Cove Church of Christ. His hope, our hope, is in Christ alone. It is because of this hope we celebrate for Robert as we mourn our great loss.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Ray and Jean, his brother James Pettigrew, granddaughter Kenzie Rian McMullen and Conway twin grandsons.
Robert is survived by his wife of 38 years, Lori, daughters Robi Lynn (Jon), Lorin Ashli (Mac), sisters Sandra Henderson (John), and Cynthia Marr (Jerry). Most beloved grandchildren Ethan, Irelyn, Reagan, Sawyer, Liam, Nolan and Nora, and numerous other close family members and friends.
