Robert was born to Robert and Shirley Schultz Durko on May 28, 1963, in Omaha, Neb. As a young child growing up in a military family, Robert traveled to many places, from Nebraska, Texas, England and Illinois. During his adolescent years, Robert developed the love of flying and a deep love for his country. He joined the Cub Scouts and received a medal for assisting an injured classmate. Later, as a young adult, he became a Christian and was close to the Lord. He decided to become a cop because, he said, "the world needed Christian cops."
Robert loved to vacation with his family and help everyone with computers. He loved all electronic gadgets and wanted everything high tech. Robert attended all of Justin's events from soccer games, taekwondo classes and school events.
One of his proudest career accomplishments came while he worked for the Tarrant County Sherriff's Office as the lieutenant of communications. He was involved with 911 and was the K-9 officer while patrolling the K-9 unit for the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office. He gave K-9 demonstrations for schools and designed websites for Justin's school activities. He was a master peace officer and in 2003 won the prestigious award of Supervisor of the Year.
Survivors: His wife, Deborah; son, Justin; father and mother, Bob and Shirley Durko; brother, Fred Durko and his wife, Christi; sister, Mary Ledbetter; nephews, Joe Durko, Forest Ledbetter and Sam Durko; and nieces, Annie Durko and Camille Durko.
