Robert Wayne "Bob" Little ODESSA Robert Wayne Little

Robert Wayne "Bob" Little ODESSA Robert Wayne Little entered into the eternal rest of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on Friday, April 17, 2026 at his residence in Odessa after a brief illness. Bob was born in Ada, Oklahoma on October 6, 1930 to Grover Little and Alpha Omega Wormington Little. He lived in Jayton and Wolfe City before joining the Navy. After discharge, he returned to Ada where he met the love of his life, Dolores Ann Clark. Following a short courtship, they married and soon moved to Odessa, Texas. In Odessa, the couple joined Crescent Park Baptist Church. Bob joined his father at Western School Photos. This was a pursuit that Bob truly enjoyed - spending time with kids while making memories. "Have a seat, cowboy!" and "Have a seat and look sweet" were two of the quips heard in many schools over the next four decades. After Doe's death in 2011, he married an old friend, Ada Kathryn (Kathie) Smith. They were able to find new love, build memories and care for each other throughout the remainder of his life. Bob was proceeded in death by his wife, Dolores, his parents, Grover and Alpha, his sister Frances Cantrell and her husband, Pete, his little brother, Duke and son - in - law, Bill Mills. He is survived by his wife, Kathie, children Carrie Green and James, Sally Nolen and Chester, Amy Vesely and Molly Mills, step - children Keith Smith and Patty, Doug Smith and Judy, and Tracey Nyborg. Bob loved and enjoyed his 11 grandchildren, 18 great - grandchildren and multiple nieces and nephews of his and Doe's, especially Robert Cantrell and Mike Cantrell of Ada, Oklahoma. Bob attended Crescent Park Baptist Church for 55 years where he taught Sunday School with his wife and played on the young men's softball team until he stepped back at the age of 50. Upon his marriage to Kathie, he began attending Grace Christian Fellowship until her health kept them limited to watching the services on - line. Bob loved his Lord Jesus, his family and his friends. He lived life the best he knew how, giving to others generously, never asking for help in return. He found fulfillment in taking care of others. He cared for his first wife and his dad, Grover and stepmother, Mattie Belle Davisson Little, until their deaths. The family would like to express their appreciation to Dr. Michael Shelton, Bret Baker PA, Dr. Nam Kim, and the staff and therapists of the 8th floor of Medical Center Hospital. A Celebration of Life is planned at Grace Christian Fellowship on May 16, 2026 at 2:00 pm.
