Bob was born the second child to Doris and M.W. McBryde in Seymour, Texas on January 23^rd, 1940. He grew up in Midland where he was given the name “Peanut” by his football coach, and at age 14 he followed his brother, Carl, to Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico and worked in the stables at the racetrack during the summers. Most of his life he was a builder and contractor.   He married Nina Willis, on September 3, 1960, and then welcomed two daughters and one son, who were the most important parts of his life until the grandchildren were born.

Bob was a team member of the Midland (Silver Wheels) and Georgia Roller Hockey Leagues from 1963 to 1973, competing in many National State Championships in the early 1960s and winning the Georgia State Championship in 1972.  After his divorce from Nina, he moved to DeSoto, Texas in 1984 and returned home to Midland in 2012.

His hobbies included dancing and freshwater fishing. Bob was heavily involved in Midland’s 4H and Livestock Association from childhood through his grandchildren’s involvement and was a member of the Greenwood Church of Christ.
