Robert L. Chennault passed away Thursday, February 11,2021.
Celebration of life service will be held Monday, February 22,2021 at 11:30 a.m. at Bacon Heights Baptist Church. Visitation will be held Sunday, February 21,2021 at Resthaven Funeral Home from 2:00pm-4:00pm. Bob (as he was known) served in the Navy from 1951-1955. He was a wonderful cook who loved to be in the kitchen. He managed Red Lion Steak House, Furr's Cafeteria, and many other restaurants. He also owned and operated Lubbock Sign Co., Gallery West Framing Studio, and One Horse Gallery. He finally decided to use his natural God- given talent as a means of a profession. He was a self-taught artist whose original style of art is known throughout New Mexico and Texas. His eye for color, horizons, clouds, and windmills are depicted in the majority of his work. Bob has received awards too numerous to mention. He was a founding member of Old Mill Trade Days. His most prolific painting was THE CRYSTAL TREE , a snow scene of the Caraway mulberry tree and windmill. Bob was always humble about his talent and donated to many charities.
He was a big talent and had the same big love for his family. Bob is survived by two daughters who cherish his memory, Michelle Fields and Cam Johnston, husband, Kyle from Lubbock.
He leaves behind his grandchildren who will miss him desperately, Jason, Casey, Tye, Tanner, and T.J. as well as eight great-grandchildren who loved their PaPa Bob dearly. He is also survived by his loving sisters, Ann Henry, Ginny Shuman, Carol Johns, and Nancy Kelly. Bob was preceded in death by his greatest love, wife Christine, mother, Irene Davis, Father, Bill Davis, brothers, Phil Chennault, Stanley Chennault, Bill Davis, Mark Davis and sisters, Winnie Graves, Shirley Crosnoe, and Deanna Rhyne.
Although he will be missed, we can only imagine where his view takes him now…good thing he took a paintbrush.
