Robert "Bobbe" Aldana Jr.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Robert “Bobbe” Aldana Jr, who departed this life on July 20, 2025, at the age of 67. Bobbe was a cherished son, parent, sibling, friend, whose warmth, kindness, and gentle spirit touched all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Born on December 31, 1957, in Abilene, TX, at Dyess Air Force Base, Bobbe lived a life marked by compassion, integrity, and dedication. Bobbe devoted his time and energy to his family, friends and his brothers in the Los Carnales Motor Club (LCMC), earning the respect and admiration of colleagues, friends, and family alike. Bobbe was a comedian and enjoyed making people laugh, you could count on him to liven the crowd. He graduated from Abilene High School in 1976 and attended Abilene Christian University. During his time in school, he was involved in band, Eagle Scouts and the golf team.

After schooling, Bobbe began working with his father in the roofing industry. The family moved to Midland where the industry was bustling. Shortly after, he started a family with his first wife Tamara Jane (TJ), they had four beautiful children. He then married the late Marguerite Clark and had two more beautiful children. He went on to build his own roofing company and later moved into the oil industry, truck driving.

One of Bobbe’s proudest accomplishments was cofounding the LCMC. He loved riding his motorcycle and the brotherhood of the club. He enjoyed the planning of their annual events such as toy drives and their annual anniversary celebration. The LCMC brought him joy and pride.
