A funeral service for Bob Osborn, 82, of Chickasha, will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, November 29, 2023 in the Ferguson Funeral Home Chapel with David Vineyard officiating.
Bobby Glen Osborn was the oldest living child, following the passing of an infant sister, of Glen Asbury Osborn and Wanna Fae (Robertson) Osborn, and was born August 5, 1941, in Pocasset, Oklahoma. He passed from this life on Thursday, November 23, 2023 in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
Bob grew up in Pocasset helping on the family’s dairy farm. He graduated from Pocasset High School in 1959 and had never missed a day of school and was the catcher on the school’s baseball team.
On June 30, 1961, he married Tresa Nan Shipp and they had a daughter Penny and a son Kirk. They shared 58 years of marriage before her passing in March of 2020.
Bob worked for Lufkin Oilfield Division setting pumping units and then transitioned to oilfield sales. He then worked in oilfield sales for Leamco. Eventually, he started his own company, Osborn Pumping Unit Repair, based out of Hennessey. He and Tresa returned to the Chickasha area and began farming. Throughout the 70’s and 80’s he enjoyed showing horses.
He was very outspoken with his opinions and a strong-willed man. He could be the life of the party and had always loved music, playing his guitar since he was a young man. He loved wheat farming and farm equipment, and enjoyed going to farm auctions.
He was preceded in death by both parents and his wife Tresa, sister LaWanna Jo Osborn, brother Ricky Frank Osborn, great-grandson Brady Glen Benson, and nephew Jonathan Michael Osborn.
Loved ones left to remember him are his daughter and son-in-law, Penny and Tim Gooch of Guthrie; son Kirk Osborn of Guthrie; sisters and brother-in-law Donna McDaniel of Pocasset and Glenda and Steve Richardson of Pocasset; grandchildren Brooke Benson and husband Brian of Coyle, Clayton Furlong of Perkins; bonus grandchildren Katy Gooch, Abby Gooch, Tylor Garcia, Colton Cain and Orrin Cain; and great-grandsons Dominic, Blake, Jameson, and Ryan; nieces and nephews and other extended family and friends.
