Robert (Bob) Lackey, born October 26,1930 to Emmett and Neola Lackey in Tulsa, Oklahoma went to be with his heavenly Father on May 20, 2026. He was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Hallie Jo Lackey and leaves behind many he considered his joy and greatest gifts in life: his sister Donna Nolen, his son Sheldon and wife Carie Lackey, his daughter Ladona and husband Larry Walls, his grandchildren: Haily Walls, Colton Walls and wife Crissy, Stanton Lackey and wife Hannah, Reese Lackey, and Blake Lackey, his great grandchildren: Gunner, Kynzlee, Asher, Bradford, Ryker, and Sloan; his first cousin John Lackey, who was also like a brother to him, along with several nephews and nieces who were dear to him.

Bob graduated from Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma and from Baylor University. He served four years in the US Navy during the Korean conflict.

Bob was a Deacon at the Memorial Baptist Church in Tulsa, where he was a member for 50 years. After moving to Tahlequah, Oklahoma he became a member of the Tahlequah First Baptist Church. He retired from Shell Oil Company, after a long career as a Credit Supervisor. After retiring, he rejoined the workforce as a School Crossing Guard for the Tulsa Public Schools.

He enjoyed traveling abroad with family and friends, backpacking, farming, beekeeping, raising chickens, fishing, trapping, hunting, and participating in parades. He later moved to the GO YE VILLAGE Senior Apartments in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, where he volunteered, played cards and socialized with his friends. His laughter and smile were contagious too many.

Bob was strong in his faith, values, and full of wisdom. He was a constant in the lives of all his friends and family. His legacy and life stories will live on through family and friends, who are blessed to have known him and been a part of his life.
