Bob Briggs, loving father and husband, lifelong resident of Port Neches, passed away peacefully and surrounded by family Friday afternoon at the age of 72. He loved Port Neches, the outdoors, golf and was an avid sports fan.

His early life was marked by outstanding athletic and academic achievements.
He graduated from Lamar University where he met his beloved wife of 50 years, Pat.
They made a home in Port Neches where they raised three children- Chad, Colleen, and Lisa. He began his professional career as an educator at PN-G HS. Although he taught for a short time, he had a lasting impact on many students. The rest of his working career was spent in pharmaceutical sales. He spent much of his retired life playing golf and was known among his peers as an outstanding player.
