Bobby Farrel
Franklin
Jan 9, 1948 — Jun 11, 2023
Bobby Farrel Franklin, a successful sales professional in the Semi-Conductor industry, passed away peacefully at his home in The Colony, Texas on June 11, 2023, at the age of 75. Born to Lucille Lafeyette Murdoch and John W. Murdoch, Bobby graduated from Idabel Gray High School in Idabel, Oklahoma, and Southeastern Oklahoma State University, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration.
Bobby was married to Teri Lynn Franklin on November 6, 1999, and they resided in The Colony, TX.
He is survived by his wife and his children, Lisa Anne Hurst, April Aurora Leanne Franklin, and Andrew Loron Franklin, four grandchildren, Laura Anne Berry-Driscoll and her husband Ryan, Alexandra Lee Berry, Noah Glen Williams and his wife Elizabeth, and Anelise Bryn Hurst, and one great-grandchild, Osiris (Ozzy) James Driscoll.

Bob, as he was fondly called, had a passion for football, golf, and traveling to Zihuantanejo with his friends and family. However, his greatest love was people, and he enjoyed mentoring them and sharing in their successes.
Bobby was preceded in death by his mother, father, and a beloved cousin, Carolyn McGovern.
