Robert Ayala Obituary
August 12, 1968 - June 7, 2025
With heavy hearts, we share our beloved Robert "Bob" Felan Ayala, a San Antonian native and beloved father, grandfather, husband, and friend passed away on June 7, 2025, in the presence of his loved ones after a strong 15-year cancer battle. He was 56 years old.
Bob, is an academically bright young man who graduated from Jefferson High School in 1986. Later, he attended the University of Texas at Austin. In 1993, he joined the United States Air Force Reserves and served 20 years with the 433rd Airlift Wing Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio, where he held the rank of TSgt. He served two tours in Qatar (2003) and Iraq (2009). He was honorably discharged and retired in 2013. Bob was a reliable man, those who knew him as dependable and had an answer to every question asked. His love of sports, especially his Cowboys, and his sarcasm were never hidden but added a good chuckle to every response he gave.
Bob was one of five siblings born to Richard S. Ayala and Mary Rose F. Ayala, on August 12, 1968. He married Yolanda G. Ayala on March 2, 1998. Their beautiful 27-year-long marriage of love, kids, and grandkids lasted until his last breath.
His devotion wasn't just shown to his family but also to his job. Bob worked as a Service Technician for AT&T from September 1998 up to his last days.
