Robert "RV" Yates

Robert “RV” Yates

Robert was born in Denver, Colorado to Vernon & Margaret Yates. At an early age he moved to a farm in Seymour, Missouri, where he went to school and farmed the ranch. He graduated high school in 1960 from Seymour where he met his beautiful wife Karen in 1961. RV & Karen had 3 beautiful children Kim, Chris & Mark. In 1965 while Karen was pregnant with Kim, RV was badly burned in a house fire and spent 6 months in the Burn Unit recovering.

Shortly after in 1966 they moved to Klein, Mt where RV loved chasing the oil field. The family settled in Klein and never left. RV started "RV Yates Welding Service" where he worked tell he passed away. He loved the outdoors such as 4 wheeling, hunting, fishing and always stopping to "smell the flowers".

His passion was welding, he loved working with everyone in the community.

He built tree guards for the city of Roundup, worked on the fire trucks for the local fire Departments. If there was something someone needed RV would figure out how to conquer it. He was a hard guy to hold on for sure!

"He was a pillar to the community"

He will be Greatly Missed!

He was proceeded in death by his loving wife Karen, his parents and Karen's parents.

He is survived by his Sister Linda & Brother Richard, his son Mark (Debra), Christopher, his loving daughter & Best Friend Kimberly. Grandchildren- Janelle (James) & Athena, Casey & Caressa and Reid Vernon who will be taking over the business.
