Robert Earl Gipson, Houston, TX—Robert Earl Gipson, known affectionately as "Bob," passed away on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, in Houston, Texas. He was 82 years old. Born in Corsicana, Texas, on August 25, 1942, Bob was a deeply loved man of faith, renowned for his warm personality and humorous spirit.
Bob is survived by his daughter, Teri Sue Longoria, and son-in-law Patrick, as well as his grandchildren Steven Longoria and wife Jackie, Shane Longoria and wife Haylee, and Samantha Longoria. His legacy also lives on through four great-grandchildren—Alizabeth, Travis, Daisy, and Brooklynn Longoria. He was preceded in death by his parents, Tommie Russell Gipson and Sidney Ford Gipson, and his daughter, Cherrie Lynn (Gipson) Verot.
A jack of all trades, Bob retired in 2010, having spent his life dedicated to family and his community. He enjoyed simple pleasures, like watching sports, reading his Bible, and listening to the sounds of nature. Bob had a special fondness for the quiet comfort of his home, often joking about the darkness in his house by saying, “I like it dark in here, because I look better in the dark,” followed by his signature chuckle that always brought a smile to those around him.
Family and friends have shared many fond memories of Bob, recalling his quiet yet strong presence. Shane Longoria, Bob’s grandson, has set up a fundraiser to assist with funeral expenses during this difficult time, and the family is grateful for the support they have received.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Robert Earl Gipson. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this sorrowful time.
