ROBERT CHARLES SIGAL

1998-2017

Robert Charles Sigal, age 19, was born on the 27th of January 1998, in Greenwich, Connecticut, to Mary-Charles Davis and Peter Sigal, and passed away Monday, the 23rd of October 2017, in Austin, Texas. Robert was first and foremost a cherished son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew, friend to all that knew him and a bright light in our world. We are blessed with the memory of his kindness and sweet spirit.

A University of Texas sophomore, Robert was a 2016 graduate of Episcopal High School, Bellaire, Texas, and was employed as an Apple-Works Support Specialist. Robert served as Student Body President at Episcopal and was a talented performer both on and off of the stage. Robert had a keen business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit. He was passionate about his service on the Houston Mayor’s Youth Council and his commitment to vulnerable children in Harris County.

Robert was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Albert E. Sigal, Junior, of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and step-grandfather, Charles “Chuck” Davis, Junior, of Houston. Those who knew Robert know that he considered his countless friends as part of his larger family.
