Born on Monday, January 17, 1966, in Bessemer, Alabama, Bobby’s life was marked by warmth, dedication, and a deep love for his family and the simple joys that filled his days.

But above all, he cherished time spent with his dear wife, children, grandchildren, and his treasured animal companions, demonstrating a gentle spirit and unwavering devotion.

Bobby is survived by his beloved wife Nikki Jean Lingo, who stood by his side through every chapter of their journey together.

He was a proud and loving grandfather to Paxton Angstadt, MaKenna Boudreaux, Kalani Short, Lilly Short, and Penelope Short. Bobby’s family circle extends to his sisters Diana Wilson and Jeannie Aguirre, as well as his niece Brenda Aguirre, who carry his memory close to their hearts.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Brenda B. and Thomas Aguirre, Sr., his brother Thomas Aguirre, Jr., and niece Thuy Aguirre, whose spirits he now joins in eternal peace.
