“Oh, the last goodbye’s the hardest one to say. This is where the cowboy rides away.” -- George Strait

Robert Dee was loved by many. He never met a stranger. Robert Dee would give you the last dollar he had or the shirt off his back to anyone that was in need (literally). Robert Dee loved kids, horses, and all that went with the cowboy way of life. He was a team roper, horse trainer, and farrier. Horses were his passion, but his true love was his girls and his grandson.

Robert Dee would rope the kids as they ran through the house and then talk them into doing it over and over again. There wasn’t a horse that he couldn’t ride or a steer he couldn’t rope.

Robert Dee is survived by his mother Martha Conyers of the home, daughters- Peyton Conyers and Neely Conyers, grandson- Lux Bustillos, sisters- Renitta Hall, Melinda Gibbs (Robert), nieces- Jamie Williams (Larry), Kristen Malllicote (Matt), Robin Shuck (Travis), nephews- Russell Gibbs (Miranda) and Casey Hall (Molly), great nieces- Monica Crossland (Cody), Morgan Williams, Maesyn, Kemper, and Bryar Mallicote, Maelee and Mattie Shuck, and Ruby Gibbs, great-great nieces- Kourtni and Averie Crossland and lots of extended family with a host of friends.

He is preceded in death by his father Robert Earl Conyers, grandparents Earl D and Ruby Conyers, Mortie and Myrtle Lair, brother-in-law Steve Hall.
