Frank Robert "Robby" Centilli, III

Frank Robert "Robby" Centilli, III, age 52, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, February 8, 2026, while surrounded by his loving family, here in Del Rio. He was born on August 21, 1973 in Del Rio. Robby was born in Del Rio, where he spent his entire life, deeply rooted in the community he loved. He graduated from Del Rio High School in 1991 and received his Business Management Associates Degree in 1994, carrying with him lifelong friendships and cherished memories. Music was woven into Robby’s life from an early age. As a young man, he played trombone in the Mighty Ram Band and listened to 80’s rock. That passion later grew into a calling as he led worship at Northside Baptist Church. Singing with the praise team was where Robby found peace, joy, and a deep connection to his faith. Robby loved sports and spending time with his family. His childhood home was the setting for many spirited games of wiffle ball and football, while Fall Sundays and Thanksgivings were reserved for a treasured tradition—watching the Dallas Cowboys with those he loved most. Known for his neat penmanship, he was always the designated scorekeeper for card games and dominoes. Hosting family cookouts brought many afternoons of laughter and joy. For more than 20 years, Robby worked in the medical equipment field, where his dedication was unmatched. No one cared more deeply about serving patients and providers than he did. He worked long hours, weekends, and holidays, always bringing compassion, patience, and a positive attitude to his work. Everyone who knew Robby knew his sense of humor. He could never resist making a joke—no matter the circumstances—and his laughter brought light and comfort to those around him. Above all, Robby loved God and lived a life grounded in faith in Jesus Christ. That faith guided how he loved his family. He was devoted to his wife Elsa for over 32 years and he always put his children's needs first. His parents and siblings knew without question that they could count on him whenever they were in need. Robby’s love, faith, and humor leave a lasting legacy. He will be forever missed by all who knew and loved him. Preceding him in death were his paternal grandparents, Frank Robert Centilli, Sr. and Elizabeth Julia "Betty" Centilli; and maternal grandparents, Pablo Hinojosa and Sylvia C. Hinojosa; Family members left to cherish his memory include his beloved wife of 32 years, Elsa Centilli of Del Rio; children: Robbie Marie Centilli and Frank Robert "Bobby" Centilli IV, both of Del Rio; parents, Frank Robert Centilli, Jr. and Josefina C.
