"When a police officer is killed, it's not an agency that loses an officer, it's an entire nation." -Chris Cosgriff, ODMP Founder
Loving husband, father, son and friend, Officer Robert "Bobby" Carey Deckard, Jr., age 31, passed away on Friday, December 20, 2013 with his family at his side.
Bobby's whole sense of being was evolved around law enforcement.
He graduated from Highlands High School being active in the FFA, raising Chester White Pigs for show and was awarded a Champion Showmanship Buckle; loved playing football while in school and later played with the community first responders' team, the San Antonio Raiders. After graduation, he attended Texas A&M/Bryan College Station along with other schools closer to his home in San Antonio.
He was a hard worker having an entrepreneurial side business in his yard and lawn maintenance business.
In 2004, he began his career at the Bexar County Detention Center and in 2006 he was accepted into the San Antonio Police Department. He was highly respected and earned the distinguished Officer of the Month Award.
Bobby cared about the community and was involved in the DWI STEP Program.
He was an avid fisherman, hunter and was dedicated to his physical fitness. His life made a lasting impact on his family, on the business community, and on the people who knew him.
Bobby will be remembered as extremely intelligent, highly energetic and totally devoted to his family and to the SAPD.

San Antonio Police officer Robert Deckard, a seven-year veteran, was responding to a reported robbery in progress Sunday off Mathis Road on the south side when he was met with gunfire.
A high-speed chase began as the suspects fled south on I-37 into Atascosa County. At some point, the robbery suspects shot at Deckard's vehicle and a bullet pierced the windshield. According to investigators, the officer was struck in the head before wrecking his squad car.
Deckard, 31, had served the city of San Antonio for seven years as a police officer. He was a husband and a father, loved by many. He has been praised as an excellent officer.
*A Special Thank You to retired Texas Senior State Trooper Dennis Deel #46590424 for sending me Officer Deckard's obituary and sponsoring his memorial.*
∼An officer that was murdered in San Antonio Texas and will be remembered by his fellow officers and family. May God bless him
