Robert Lile Vest

A wonderful father and husband, Robert Lile Vest of Plano, Texas, passed away surrounded by family on March 29th, 2023, at the age of 77. He was the kindest man and always made sure you were taken care of and had some money in your pocket. He will be terribly missed by all his family and friends.

Born in Tacoma Washington in 1946 to Carl A Vest and Selma J ‘Judy’ Vest, he spent his childhood in Arkansas with his family. After highschool, Robert moved to Dallas and began a 40 year career in Microhybrid Electronics. He always loved the outdoors including hunting and fishing and would never miss an opportunity to escape to the lake or deer lease. An avid reader, I don’t believe there was a Louis L’amour or Jack Reacher book that he didn’t read. Later in life, he took on the new hobby of riding a motorcycle. There was no slowing him down in his later years. He truly lived a full life.

Robert is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sheila, and their two daughters, Amanda Hernandez and her husband Hector Hernandez, and Brooke Vest and her husband Tim Bell– a brother, Larry Vest, and a sister, Sue Hill– five grandchildren, Will, Kate, Layla, Ariella, Liam.

A Celebration of Life Service Will be held on April 29th at 2:00PM at Ted Dickey Funeral Home.
