After meeting in 1995, Robert Ray Schier Jr. was married to Terrisia Ferrill Biehle on February 22, 1997, and celebrated over 24 years of marriage.
Robert was a life-long citizen of Austin, Texas with homes and businesses in Austin and Elgin, Texas. He recently procured his lifelong dream yacht that he and Terrisia were to soon sail off into the sunset together, as their retirement.
Robert was well known for his many projects, collections, works of art, and passion for living life on the wild side. Those who loved him knew his tendency of leaving small projects incomplete and would tease him about them frequently. However, we also knew Bob Schier had a way to make his largest life dreams come true. He was a leader whose ability to turn dreams into realities inspired everyone around him. The sky was always the limit, he built his business from the ground up and raised his children to work hard, play hard, and never let anyone dictate what they could or couldn’t achieve in life.
Robert was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, and friend. He loved God, his family, his country, his freedom and he always strived to protect the Constitution that America was founded on. He had countless passions in life, a few of his favorites were; boating, fireworks, live music, car racing, hunting, fishing, collecting antiques, family gatherings, Texas BBQ, brewing sun tea, growing watermelons, a good seafood meal, and traveling with his family.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents; A.O. “Pete” Schier, Demetra Schier, Benjamin “Bennie” Briggs, and Audra Briggs.
Robert is survived by his wife, Terrisia Ferrill Schier; mother, Mattie May Schier; father, Robert Schier Sr.; son, Robert Schier III; daughter, Jenna Kaitlyn Schier; daughter, Tiffany Shreve and her husband Michael; granddaughter, Ella Shreve whom he adored lovingly, spoiled immensely and who called him Papa Bob; sister, Sharen Schier Soliz and her husband Jesse Soliz; nephew, Kaleb Mccall; brother, Peter Schier Sr., and his wife Sherrill Schier; nephew, Peter Schier Jr.; niece Valerie Stegemoeller and a host of close family and friends.
While this is not the bon-voyage we had hoped for and came far too soon, friends and family are invited to join in sharing their memories and love of Robert Ray Schier Jr., whose buoyant pleasure of life touched every heart fortunate enough to have known him, in ways that will leave irrevocable impressions. Visitation will be held Friday, April 30, 2021 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and a celebration of his life will be held Saturday, May 1, 2021, at 2:30 p.m. All services will take place at Cook-Walden Funeral Home.
