Robert was born October 4, 1956 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to James and Catherine Wiggins and passed away at his residence in Dallas, Tx on January 30, 2021.  As an Air Force family, Robert spent most of his youth traveling the world until settling in Jamestown in his teens, when his father retired.  Robert earned degrees in Education and Electrical Engineering from Louisiana Tech University and spent the last 23 years of his career with TXU Utilities (Oncor) in Human Resources.


  Robert created many lasting friendships and memories throughout his years. His love for travel took him throughout the US and overseas and he always enjoyed sharing a drink with good company. He will be remembered for his kindness, generous spirit, and sense of humor.  


  He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Catherine Wiggins, sister Cathy Willis and a very special aunt, Irene Anderson.


  Robert was a beloved brother, uncle, friend, and coworker to many. Left behind to cherish his memory are his brother, Jimmy Wiggins and his wife Virginia Lindsey of Dallas, and sister Theresa Weldon and her husband Scott Raecke, of Franklin Pennsylvania. Robert did not have any children of his own but was a dearly loved uncle to nieces Jennifer Bowman, Meagan Willis, Kathleen and Sarah Raecke and great nieces and nephew Kayleigh, Madison, and Cade Bowman.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Robert was so funny when we grew up. We rode the school bus together everyday. He also helped me with my leaf report in science. He took me to the woods & showed me the trees naming everyone of them. To this day I take kids to the woods and help them learn their trees. I will always remember Robert.
Love,

Robert was indeed a sincere gentleman. He was extremely helpful to me and my wife when I was in the process of retiring. Robert's kindness and patience in dealing with people came across every time we visited. With deepest condolences to his family.

Robert was always a kind friend at Oncor. He will be missed! Sincere condolences to all who loved him.

He was a great person, friend and coworker. He had a huge heart and always went out of his way to help people. His unique sense of humor would sometimes make you shake your head but would always leave you laughing. I will miss hearing his laughter, seeing his smiling face and most of all, our long running jokes and traditions....

Jim, Theresa and family- I had the privilege of knowing and working with Robert throughout his entire career with Oncor and our predecessor companies. For the last several years, we have worked together day to day, as his desk sits right outside my door. Robert was a trusted colleague and friend before we became coworkers. His knowledge and understanding of Oncor's HR business was immense and valued, but, his care, concern, compassion for employees and especially our retirees...
