Robert "Bob" Keith Gage, 89, of Arlington, Texas, went to heaven on December 12, 2025. Born on January 19, 1936, in Lamar, Missouri, Bob lived a long and fulfilling life.

After completing high school, Bob began his career at Delta Airlines in Chicago, where he met his beloved wife, Karol. He dedicated 37 years to Delta. After working at Delta, he worked for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), making phone calls to people affected by disasters such as Hurricane Katrina.

Bob loved traveling with Karol and sharing life's adventures. Later in life, he became involved with horses alongside his twin daughters, Roberta and Becky, a chapter that brought him great joy and many cherished memories before his second retirement.

Family was the cornerstone of Bob's life. He is survived by four children: Denise Gage and her husband, Ronny Abrams; David Gage; Roberta Gage; and Rebecca "Becky" Gage. He is also survived by nine grandchildren: Peter Case and his wife, Allison Olivarez; Paige Jurado and her husband, Marin Jurado; Alana May and her husband, Kevin May; Joel Gage; Colt Gage-Adams; Gisele Gage-Adams; Zamica Gage; Joviah Gage; and Andaz Gage-Tsai. Bob was blessed with three great-grandchildren: Lucas Case, Zachary May, and Emerson Jurado.

He was preceded in death by the mother of his children, Karolyn Ann Gage; his father, Frank Gage; and his mother, Effie Gage. Bob will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Bob's honor can be made to Mission Metroplex. Thank you!
