Robert Wayne “Bob” Childers
Robert Wayne “Bob” Childers, Stillwater, died Tuesday, April 22, 2008, at his residence. He was 61.
Arrangements are made under the direction of Trout Funeral Home and Crematory.
A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Trout Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Guy Fox, minister of the Kildare Baptist Church, officiating.
Bob was born Nov. 20, 1946, to Howard and Rhea (Gaskins) Childers in West Union, W.Va. He loved and lived music.
Childers’ musical achievement is well summarized by music reviewer Erik Hague: “With his weathered, rootsy songcraft, Bob Childers is considered the godfather of Red Dirt Music, as a hard to define, ‘I-know-it-when-I-hear-it’ blend of country, rock and folk that Oklahoma claims as its own.” He will be missed by many who loved him and were impacted by the music he left behind.
He is survived by his parents; two sons, Zach and Jesse Childers; two brothers, Mark Childers of Ponca City and Paul Childers of Waynoka; and one sister Ann Thorpe of Ponca City.
He was preceded in death by one brother, David Childers.
A musical tribute is tentatively planned this Sunday at The Blue Door in Oklahoma City.
