Obituary
Robert Eugene Snowden, age 82, passed away peacefully in Corpus Christi, Texas on Tuesday, September 25, 2018. He was born in Enid, Oklahoma on May 5, 1936, to Harold and Opal Snowden who preceded him in death.
He graduated from Enid High School in 1954. He was on the basketball team and was a member of the high school band where he played coronet and was the band president.
He attended Oklahoma A & M (now Oklahoma State University) in Stillwater, Oklahoma graduating in 1958 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering with a Petroleum Option. He also received a Master of Mathematics from Tulsa University.
After college he entered the military, completing his ROTC training by serving in the Army National Guard of Texas as Sergeant of Artillery Operations and Intelligence Assistant. After his military service, he was employed by Champlin Refining Company in Enid, Oklahoma. From there he was hired by Sun Oil Company and worked in Tulsa, Oklahoma and was then transferred to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He later was relocated by Sun Oil Company to Corpus Christi, Texas where he worked until his retirement in 1995.
He was a loving and devoted grandfather, giving himself completely, after his retirement, to full-time involvement in his grandchildren's care, as well as serving his son, Phil in the operation and care of his Chiropractic Clinic in Corpus Christi, Texas.
He is survived by his son, Dr. Phil Snowden of Corpus Christi, TX; three grandchildren, Jennifer Snowden of Austin, Texas, Andrew Snowden of Corpus Christi, Texas, and Rebekah Snowden of Corpus Christi, Texas; three siblings, Mervin Snowden and wife, Joy of Tulsa, OK; Rita Snowden Hauck and husband, Robert of Fort Worth, TX, Connie Snowden Hoover and husband, Myron of McPherson, KS; aunt, Eileen Snowden of Enid, OK; nine nieces and nephews, and a host of cousins.
He will be remembered lovingly by both the immediate and extended family by the ways he generously and selflessly gave of time and resources to serve them so well. His commitment to family was exemplary. He will be missed.
Memorial Service will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, October 10, 2018 at Cedar Ridge Wesleyan Church 5101 W Randolph Ave, 73703 Enid, OK. Service will be officiated by Rev. Max Colaw, District Superintendent of the Wesleyan Church.
