Robert C. Klabunde, 88 years of age, passed away on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. Known to many as “Bob”, he was an affectionate, dedicated and hard-working individual who always put the needs of others before his own. Originally from Wisconsin, he made his home with his wife Aida (Zamora) and his three daughters in Alice, Texas. Bob worked for many years as a sign painter and neon tube bender. Later he became a journeyman electrician. Many enjoyed his sign painting talent which included much of the Alice Coyote signage that decorated the old Memorial Stadium. But aside from his talent, Bob was known for being a spiritual man who valued bible principles. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses for over 78 years, he was often seen participating in the door-to-door preaching work and offering bible studies with interested ones. He had a zeal for speaking about God’s creation and the hope we have for a resurrection. You could see his passion for what he believed in with his beautiful blue eyes and warm smile.

Bob leaves behind his precious and faithful wife, Aida, to whom he was married for 63 years. His three daughters: Cynthia Lee (Israel) Chapa, Sandra Lyn (Johnny) Gutierrez and Candi Kay (Israel) Lopez. He also had several grandchildren: Randy Lee Chapa, Jonathan (Samantha) Gutierrez, Andrew Gutierrez, Phillip (Kendra) Gutierrez, Marcus (Alanah) Gutierrez, Victoria Gutierrez, Andres Lopez and Aliyah Lopez. He is also survived by two of his sisters, Rosie Barker and Pearl (Andy) Kooiman as well as many nieces and nephews that had a special place in their heart for “Uncle Bob”.

Special thanks to all the hospital staff at Christus Spohn Alice, The Meridian and The Premier of Alice for taking care of all his needs in his last days. And also, Altus Hospice Care for quickly stepping in to comfort him when he needed it most.

A funeral talk will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 3484 W. Hwy 44, Alice, Texas on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 3:00pm.

Arrangements are entrusted to Holmgreen Mortuary, 2061 E. Main St, Alice, Texas 78332.
