Spring, TX - Robert "Bob" George Rackley passed away in Spring TX and went to be with our Lord July 28, 2025. Bob was born in Midway TX May 21,1930 and spent most of his childhood in Trinity TX. He moved to Houston at the age of 17 and worked for Central Freight. He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1952 serving in Wichita Falls and San Antonio TX, North Africa and Washington DC. When Bob left the military, he worked in civil service at Ellington AFB as a Jet Engine Mechanic. In 1966, he moved his family to Flour Bluff TX and he worked at NAS Corpus Christi as an Aircraft Mechanic, specifically rebuilding helicopters after combat.

He lived a full life of curiosity and service. He could master all mechanical skills and was still figuring out how to make things work well into his 90's. He loved his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and always worked to make things better for them. Bob loved fishing, riding in the boat, tinkering in his garage and visiting with friends and family. After committing his life to Jesus in 1985, Bob enjoyed attending church and forming friendships with so many people in the Assembly of God family. In the 80's he owned and operated Bob's Auto Sales in Huntsville TX and met many new people that lived and worked in Huntsville. Bob enjoyed his retirement on his land in Huntsville. In his 90's, Bob shared stories and prayers with new friends at The Conservatory in Spring TX.
