Robert Lee Knight

He leaves behind his loving wife, Donna Elyce Million, sister Sandra Lochausen and brother-in-law Marshall Lochausen, his nephew Geoff Lochausen and wife Carey and their children Luke, Caroline and Meg, his niece Erin Strange and husband David and their children Clara, Marshall and Sullivan. Robert also leaves his memories to many other loving family members and friends.

Robert was born on May 29, 1949 in Del Rio, Texas to Robert Earl Knight and Irene Skipworth Knight who predeceased him. He grew up in Kingsville, Texas in a very loving family. He attended A&I University in Kingsville and graduated with a Business Degree on May 26, 1972.

Robert joined the National Guard in October 1969 and received several commendations and was Honorably Discharged on June 4, 1975. He then joined Employers Insurance Company as a Claims Supervisor until he was offered a position with Amoco Oil Company in Texas City, Texas as a Claims Manager bringing him to Friendswood, Texas to live. He retired from Amoco/BP after a proud career on March 31, 2009 after 32 years with the company he took such pride in working for and whom he developed many longtime friends within the company and in the legal community.

Robert followed in his father’s footsteps who had a love and passion for the game of golf. He played golf for his high school and college teams. He became a member of Golfcrest Country Club in 2006 where he continued to hone his golf game and found a wonderful family of friends and golfers who are just as passionate for the game.

Robert’s wife and family would like to extend a very special thank you to the staff at MD Anderson Hospital Main Campus and the Clear Lake City Campus for their excellent work and loving care at his most vulnerable moments. Our appreciation and heartfelt thanks go to the A-Med Hospice staff who stood by Robert with kindness, tenderness and understanding and who were so supportive of us in our time of grief.
