Bobby Lee Goswick, age 80 of Breckenridge, passed away peacefully in his home on Monday, July 27, 2020 after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s. Visitation was held on Wednesday, July 29 from 1 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. at Morehart Mortuary. Graveside funeral services followed in the Hart Cemetery with Pastor David Fergeson officiating. Interment followed under the direction of Morehart Mortuary.

Bobby was born on Dec. 22, 1939 in Colorado City, Texas to Grover Lee and La-Vada April Goswick. His dad was an oilfield worker so the family moved around every year during his elementary and junior high school years. Through the efforts of his uncle, Floyd Watts, and Coach Joe Kerbel, Lee was offered a job in Breckenridge so Bobby could play Buckaroo football. Bobby was varsity quarterback his sophomore through senior years under Coach Emory Ballard. He graduated in 1958 and went on to play football for San Angelo Junior College under Coach Max Bumgardner, who called him “a young man with a football brain and the right physical equipment.” He then played football for McMurry College under Coach Grant Teaff.

In 1961, he married the love of his life, Mary Elaine Boyd and they just celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. In 1963, they left Breckenridge and moved to Irving, Texas. They later returned to Breckenridge in 1975, where they opened and operated a True Value Hardware store for many years. Bobby returned to McMurry University later in life to obtain his Bachelor of Science in Education. He taught junior high math and P.E. in Breckenridge and also coached junior high basketball, junior high volleyball, varsity softball and varsity girls golf. He and Coach Cooper took the softball girls to the state championship game earning the runner-up title in 1998. He then coached his golf girls to win four state championships. It would be the 2000 team that put Breckenridge back on the map, as they produced the city’s first state title in any sport since Ballard’s 1959 Buckaroos. The next three years produced an individual state win by Camille Blackerby. Bobby retired coaching and teaching in 2004, and drove a school bus until 2015.

Interment followed under the direction of Morehart Mortuary.

Bobby was born on Dec. 22, 1939 in Colorado City, Texas to Grover Lee and La-Vada April Goswick. His dad was an oilfield worker so the family moved around every year during his elementary and junior high school years. Through the efforts of his uncle, Floyd Watts, and Coach Joe Kerbel, Lee was offered a job in Breckenridge so Bobby could play Buckaroo football. Bobby was varsity quarterback his sophomore through senior years under Coach Emory Ballard. He graduated in 1958 and went on to play football for San Angelo Junior College under Coach Max Bumgardner, who called him “a young man with a football brain and the right physical equipment.” He then played football for Mc-Murry College under Coach Grant Teaff.

In 1961, he married the love of his life, Mary Elaine Boyd and they just celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. In 1963, they left Breckenridge and moved to Irving, Texas. They later returned to Breckenridge in 1975, where they opened and operated a True Value Hardware store for many years. Bobby returned to McMurry University later in life to obtain his Bachelor of Science in Education. He taught junior high math and P.E. in Breckenridge and also coached junior high basketball, junior high volleyball, varsity softball and varsity girls golf. He and Coach Cooper took the softball girls to the state championship game earning the runner-up title in 1998. He then coached his golf girls to win four state championships.

The next three years produced an individual state win by Camille Blackerby. Bobby retired coaching and teaching in 2004, and drove a school bus until 2015.
