Robert Thomas Conwell III, passed away on May 25, 2025, after a short but courageous battle with cancer. He born June 22, 1954, to Tom and Kay Conwell in Lawton, Oklahoma. He was a proud son, husband, father, grandfather, friend, and patriot. He graduated from Eisenhower High School in 1974 before enlisting in the U.S. Navy, where he served aboard the USS Constellation (CVA-64). He completed two tours in Vietnam and received numerous medals for his service.
After his honorable discharge, Robert returned to Lawton and spent 20 years working for the family business, Midwest Distributors. He later founded Conwell Sales Company and Universal Sales Company. His career in the wholesale wine and spirits industry continued with 25 years at Central Liquor Company, followed by RNDC.
In 1981, Robert met and married the love of his life, Sherri. Together they shared 44 years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and devotion to family. Their proudest accomplishments were their son, R.T., and daughter, Carrie, whom they raised with endless love and support.
Robert was a member of VFW Post 5263, AMBUCS, a loan executive for United Way, and a proud 3rd and 4th Degree Knight of Columbus.
He is survived by his loving wife, Sherri; his son, Robert Thomas Conwell IV, and his wife Mickayla, and their three children: Magnolia, Robert Thomas Conwell V, and Maverick; and his daughter, Carrie Johnson, and her husband Dan, along with their two children, Claire and Danny. Robert is also survived by his six siblings: Ann (Nick) Knutson, Therese Underwood, Mary (Mazin) Hatamleh, Joe Conwell, Carolyn Conwell, and Barbara Conwell.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents.
Robert will be remembered for his deep love for his family, his unwavering loyalty, and his remarkable strength of character. He had a gift for making others feel seen and valued and was a great friend to many. Whether through a shared laugh, a heartfelt conversation, or a simple gesture of kindness, he made everyone around him feel special. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, spending time on the golf course, casting a line at the lake, and cheering on his favorite teams. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
