Robert D. Cannon

Robert grew up in Grand Prairie and attended Grand Prairie High School. He was a master plumber for most of his life and retired due to medical reasons in 2011. Robert enjoyed fishing, hunting and walking around the stock yards in Ft. Worth. He was a happy go lucky man who was always joking and laughing.

While hanging out with a friend one evening he caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman named Debbie. He invited her to join him at his table. On August 13, 1989 he and Debbie were married. Robert was an easy going, generous loving husband, father, son and uncle. He was very laid back and was the first to help if he knew you need something.
