Hobert D. Higginbotham, born on September 11, 1949, in Germany, passed away peacefully on December 19, 2025, in Arlington, Texas. He was a devout Christian whose faith guided him throughout his life and provided him with strength and comfort.
A retired U.S. Army veteran, Hobert proudly served his country and was recognized with several service medals for his dedication and commitment. His military service was a significant part of his identity, reflecting his deep sense of duty and discipline.
Hobert was known for his jovial nature and had a knack for making others laugh. He cherished the simple joys of life, such as fishing, sharing jokes, and watching old westerns on television. These pastimes spoke to his adventurous spirit and his love for storytelling, which brought happiness not only to himself but also to those around him.
