Obituary of Robert Allen Collup

Robert “Lump” Collup was born September 6th, 1938 to Rhandle and Marzella Collup in Fort Worth, TX. He grew up in the Riverside area where he would graduate from Carter Riverside in 1956.  He remained close friends with many of his fellow graduates over his lifetime. He attended TCU for a short time, while working many hours and having two younger children at the time, Cheryl and Richard. Later he had three more children, Robert Junior, Michael, & Marsha. Lump then married the love of his life, Zella in 1985, where he then gained three more sons; Freddie, Les, & Warren Lee.

He was a member of the National Guard for many years. He worked at Swift, Merchant, Roadway, and YRC for a total of 66 years.  He was active in the Lions Club, FFA participation, peewee basketball coach, and socializing whenever able.

Lump loved nothing more than to spend time with his family and friends celebrating life. He had an encouraging spirit and loved to tell stories. Lump understood one thing...”The Good Lord Willing”, which is a motto he used in his every day applications (Phil 4:13- I can do all things through Christ.).

He was proud of where he came from and even prouder of his children and grandchildren and the legacy that will continue to live on through them. Lump was loved by many and his encouraging, outgoing, friendly spirit will be deeply missed by his loved ones.

Lump was proceeded in death by his parents, his wife, Zella, and his oldest child, Cheryl, and his son Freddie.
