George "Bob" Burch

George “Bob” Burch, age 69, of Brenham passed away September 19, 2024.

George Robert Burch, otherwise known as “Bob” was born on December 6, 1954 to Bess and Cecil Burch in Brenham, Texas. Bob grew up and graduated from Brenham, where he participated in many activities, including 4H and Boy Scouts which he was very proud of and often told the same stories about his childhood memories. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Brenham. He loved his family but was a “mommas boy”.

Bob grew up loving the outdoors and everything about it. He could never get enough. He loved hunting, fishing, roping, wood working and working with leather. He loved collecting knives and guns; each having meaning and a story behind them. He loved riding his motorcycle and cherished the open road and bike rides he had taken with friends and his son Jonathan. He was very proud of his time volunteering and participating in the Annual Toy run with the Lake Loons. He was a storyteller and loved to tell them to anyone who would listen. He loved reading, especially books about history.

Bob loved hanging out with his friends and sitting on the front porch waving to everyone passing by. Bob also loved his dog Missy, who he took on walks and enjoyed taking to the lake. He was the loudest person in the room. He never met a stranger and made friends everywhere he went. Bob was the guy who would give you the shirt off his back.

Bob is preceded in death by parents Cecil and Bess Burch; grandparents; George and Lydia Burch, George and Bess Habekotte; aunts Ruth Burch, Dorothy Schroeder; and uncle George Burch.
