Robert E Mockert Jr., a man of selfless dedication, handy craftsmanship, and a generous heart, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2025, at the age of 56 in Boerne, TX. Born on April 16, 1968, in San Antonio, TX, Robert's life was a testament to the values of hard work, devotion to family, and the joys of life's simple pleasures.
Robert's early years in San Antonio were filled with the bustling energy of a large and loving family. He was the cherished son of Barbara and Robert Mockert Sr., and a protective older brother to his sisters, Jeni Smith (Clint) and Kim Young (Jay). As he grew, he became a role model to his nieces, Jordan, Haley, Rylie, Amber, and Kacie, imparting wisdom and laughter in equal measure.
After graduating from high school, Robert quickly became known in his community for his exceptional ability to fix just about anything. His hands were rarely still, as he was always onto the next project or helping a neighbor in need. This innate skill was only matched by his desire to give without expecting anything in return.
Beyond his talents and generosity, Robert was a man who truly lived for the outdoors. His passion for hunting and fishing was more than a hobby; it was a way of connecting with nature and finding peace away from the noise of everyday life. Those who knew him could often find Robert in his favorite spot, surrounded by the sounds of the wilderness or simply enjoying a well-deserved nap under the shade of a tall oak.
Above all, Robert's greatest pride and joy were his sons, Cody Mockert (Lauren) and John Mockert (Sierra). He instilled in them the values of integrity, hard work, and kindness. His legacy continues through them, as they carry forward the lessons and love he shared.
Even Robert's pets, Jr, Zoe, and Piper, were a testament to his nurturing spirit. They were more than animals; they were companions that brought additional warmth and affection to his home.
Robert's life was one of meaningful connections, whether it was with the people he loved, the animals he cared for, or the natural world he so deeply appreciated. His departure leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew him, but his memory will be cherished and celebrated for generations to come.
As we say goodbye to Robert E Mockert Jr., we remember a man whose existence enriched the lives of many. His story does not end here, for the impact of his kindness, the strength of his character, and the memories he created will continue to resonate with all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Rest in peace, Robert; your life was a beautiful journey that will never be forgotten.
A gathering of family & friends for Robert will be held Saturday, January 18, 2025 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Sunset North Funeral Home, 910 N Loop 1604 E., San Antonio, Texas 78232.
