Derril Ray Bibby, born on April 15, 1941, passed from this world on November 9, 2025, after 84 years of a quietly remarkable life during which he touched the hearts of everyone who had the opportunity and blessing to spend time with him.  

Derril was a devoted husband to Katherine Louise O’Brien Bibby, his wife of 60 years, having a love for her that grew with every new phase in their lives.  He remained protective of her well-being until his end.  Married on July 2, 1965, they started their life together in the south suburbs of Chicago where Derril had been stationed with the U.S. Army, moving to Atlanta for work with Texaco in 1970, and then to Houston in 1977 where they lived while raising their two sons, Brett and Brandon, until Derril retired in 1998.  Derril thoroughly enjoyed his retirement with Kathy, spending time together tending to their ranch home in Bremond, Texas, relaxing at their summer home in Otto, North Carolina and traveling cross-country to visit family and friends, until ending up in Kingwood, Texas for his final years. 

He was a caring, dependable father to Brett and Brandon, prioritizing being a constant presence in their young lives as a source of instruction and encouragement for life’s lessons, including organized activities in scouting, sports and school.  As his sons grew older, he valued spending time with them either playing golf, fixing up his ’51 Ford, working on the ranch, fishing or watching Longhorn football games.  Derril was also a loving presence in the life of his granddaughter, Ashlyn Rae, and made much of the time that she spent with him an opportunity for exploration and adventure.

Through family bonds, various circles of friends, community involvement and travels, Derril had an understated impact on the world around him.  Those who knew him for any amount of time respected him for his integrity, persistence and self-reliance.  He was thoughtful and kind, and he had a quick dry wit that could draw a smile from even the sternest of people.  

Derril is preceded in death by his father, Raymond “Rex” Bibby, his mother, Edith Irene Rush Bibby Legro, his stepmother, Julia Boyd Bibby Blackmon, and his two older brothers, Wayne Bibby and Jerry Bibby.  He is survived by his wife, Katherine, his two sons, Brett and Brandon, his grand-daughter Ashlyn Rae and his half-sister, Carol Cameron Smothers.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Derril to the National MS Society.

As one of his unit assignments and duties, Pat served to secure the transport of President John F. Kennedy to his final resting place in Arlington, VA. In September 1967, Patrick received orders for Vietnam. He was in Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry until he was honorably discharged in 1968. He was a Purple Heart recipient and a devoted patriot to his country and his brothers in arms.

“Pat” will be remembered by many for his laugh, his boisterous and many stories of Vietnam and his various youthful exploits, his love of music and Busch beer, his loyalty and love for family.

Patrick was preceded in death by his loving wife, Anne, whom he married in 1973, his parents, his sister Barbara and his brother Jimmy. He is survived by his sons, Jed and Lane, his daughters, Brandi and Tara, granddaughters Olivia and Raven, as well as his beloved dog, Arli, (short for Arlington).
