He was born April 1, 1951 in Winnsboro, LA. He served his country proudly in Vietnam from 1969 to 1971. After returning home, he went to work in the oilfield as a Company Man. Robert was an avid fisherman and he spent many days on the water with family and friends. He was known to enjoy a good swap or trade, preferring that to outright buying anything, as he loved the fun of making the deal. His family was always his greatest love, especially his grandkids. He always missed his dad after his death, having spent many hours together in the woods, fishing or just hanging out.
He was preceded in death by his parents, James “Jimmy” Perot and Myrdie Sikes Perot; his brother, Ben Perot; son, Robie McClain; daughter, Kylie King Duncan; and granddaughter, Lanie Duncan.
Those left to cherish his memory include his beloved wife of 37 years, Renee King; daughter, Alisha Brown (Josh); sons, Jim Bob King and Kenneth Holder; brothers: James Earl Perot, Mark Perot and Hank Perot; sixteen grandchildren; special friend, Robert Anding, who he loved like a brother; and numerous nieces and nephews.
