Bob was born June 23, 1937 in Alma, Oklahoma to Fred and Earline (Jones) Tackett and passed from this life into Heaven on November 2, 2023. He was raised in Fox, Oklahoma, where attended school. He went into the Oil and Gas business with his father at the age of 14 and named it Tackett and Son. In 1965, Bob moved to Enid, where he went to work for Mack Oil Co. then Champlin/ Union Pacific where he retired. After retirement, he went to work for Cheyenne Petroleum. His happiest years were working with his son-in-law Dennis Pealor and partner Claude Obar in the operations of DC Energy. After retirement from the Oil and Gas Industry Bob enjoyed traveling, his trip to Israel made a big impact on him, seeing the locations where his Lord and Savior had traveled. The greatest loves in his life were God, his church, and his family. His daily prayer was for his family to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and for them to be with him in Heaven one day.
