Robert Brody passed away September 3, 2019, after a long and brave battle with Parkinson’s disease.

Rob proudly served his country as an Air Force officer for over two decades, retiring at Randolph AFB in San Antonio, Texas. Soon after, he became an employee relations advisor for USAA from 1989-2008.

He was a groundbreaking leader who took on difficult challenges - especially social issues - before it was cool to do that, whether it was fighting for equality for women and minorities, practicing meditation and eating health food, or mediating conflicts -- the list goes on and on.

Many will fondly remember Rob's warm and witty sense of humor, his sharp communication skills, and his love of music and sometimes just for the fun of it, the combination of all of those things at once.

Rob was a lifelong athlete and sports enthusiast. He was active in basketball his entire life, including winning many medals in the Senior Olympics. He was a huge fan of the San Antonio Spurs and enjoyed going to home games.

Rob was a great, wise, selfless man. He loved his family and friends more than anything. He was the kind of person that made everyone around him feel better. He will he missed deeply. But we take some comfort knowing he is no longer suffering.

He is survived by his wife Marjorie, children Jeff and Jennifer, and five grandchildren.
