Bob’s early years were spent traveling, including spending time in California and Arizona, where he discovered his passion for construction. It was in Arizona that he learned the craft that would shape the rest of his life. In 1969 on a weekend trip to Balboa Island, California he met Shirley Brammeier, the love of his life. Their courtship led him to Denver, Colorado, where he joined Shirley and her daughter Denise. It was there he furthered his knowledge of the construction industry. He and Shirley then created Hutson Industries, one of the largest drywall supply companies in Colorado.

In 1973, Bob and Shirley welcomed their daughter Lori Ann into the world, and in 1977, they returned to Lubbock, where Bob founded Bob Hutson Construction. Over the next 45 years, Bob designed and built custom homes that would leave a lasting impact on the Lubbock community, earning him a well-deserved reputation as a legend in the home-building industry.

Following Shirley’s passing in 2017, Bob retired and spent his remaining years on his daughter Lori’s ranch in the beautiful Central Texas Hill Country, surrounded by the love of his family.

He is survived by his daughter, Lori Hutson and her husband Brad; his daughter Denise Vaughan and her husband Phil; as well as three grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Bob’s legacy lives on in the many lives he touched, both through his work and the love he gave to his family and friends.

He will be dearly missed and forever remembered.

I am so sorry to learn about Bob’s passing. I loved Bob and Shirley. They were family but they were more than that. They were good people. They cared about others too! I always admired what a great dad he had been to Lori. He made his way in this world and taught her his craftsmanship. He was one of the best builders for sure in Lubbock. Whatever Bob did, he did it right. He was a good man! Please accept our condolences and our prayers. They are with you too Lori. Love you always! 🙏❤️🦋

We send our love good bye Bob we may have not gotten to know you but we know the amazing sweet daughter you made and for her to be so wonderful tell us that you had to be amazing too and that this world truly lost of one it's most precious rip,

Bob was such a kind man. He was dad to all us girls growing up. He never knew what was coming next with us but always had a smile on his face. I know that he is happily reunited with Shirley and no longer in pain. My prayers are with you Lori today and always. Love you my friend. 🧡

Bob was a great guy! I’m so glad I got to know him. And really glad he sold me my lot! We will miss him

Bob and Shirley were always gracious and kind to me. They were generous and welcoming. I will always remember Bob with love and know that his wonderful spirit lives on with his family. We'll have a beer in memory at all the Tech games. Safe travels my friend.

I'm so sad to hear about the passing of Bob. He was a fine man and someone that I really enjoyed getting to know. I first met Bob in 2015-2016 when he was building a custom house in Littlefield. I had taken over the loan for his customer when a former loan officer left and needless to say this is really where I cut my teeth on learning the ins and outs of community banking. Bob was present at every meeting, provided quality advice, and was a beacon of wisdom and truth. I continued to work with Bob over the next several years prior to leaving the bank. He was someone I thoroughly enjoyed seeing walk into my office and one I didn't want to leave even though we both had other obligations. Bob, thank you for all the lessons you taught me. I look forward to seeing you again. Rest in peace, my friend.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
