In Loving Memory of Robert "Robbie" Weldon Shipp
Robert "Robbie" Shipp was born to Joe Weldon Shipp and Jane Josephine Phiffer Shipp on July 20, 1953 and peacefully entered eternal rest on September 26, 2025 at the age of 72.
Robert dedicated much of his life to his career at Phillips 66 where he worked with diligence, integrity and pride until his well earned retirement. His strong work ethics and professional accomplishments stand as a lasting testament to his dedication.
Beyond his career Robert's greatest joy was his children and grandchildren and the life he crafted with his wife and best friend Pat Latham-Shipp. Together they built a home filled with love, care and companionship -a bond that will endure forever.
Robert's memory will forever be cherished by those whose lives he touched and in the hearts of those he loved and who loved him.
He is survived by his devoted wife Pat; his daughter Robyn Lynch of Cedar Park TX; son James and Gina Shipp of Round Rock, TX; Brandi and Lenny Hammond of Texarkana, TX; and Brad and Dawn Poole of Roanoke, TX.
He was a proud grandfather to: Roman and Alexa Lynch, Cooper Shipp, Emma and Isabela Wheaton, Christopher and Emileigh Pickens and Dylan Poole.
He is also survived by a sister: Marilyn Posey of Texarkana, AR; His brother, David and wife Nita Shipp of Texarkana, TX; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

David,

I am sorry to hear about Robbie. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Robbie was always nice to me in school and scouts. Don´t think I had seen him since then.
