Robert “Rob” Dowlin McNamara passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 1, 2024, in Webster, Texas, at the age of 55.

Rob was born on August 10, 1969, in Texas City, Texas to Robert Paul McNamara and Lynn (McNamara) Crum.

Rob was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and a true friend to many.

Professionally, Rob excelled in Material Management, working internationally with prestigious organizations such as Fluor Corporation, KBR, Halliburton, Parsons Corporation, and Ma’aden Saudi Arabian Mining Company.

Rob had a passion for music and could often be found singing his heart out, whether anyone was listening or not.  He was the life of the party, known for his charisma, magnetic personality, charm and ability to light up any room he walked into.  Rob lived a full and vibrant life, leaving an indelible mark on everyone he met.

He embraced life’s adventures from the thrill of fishing to pursuing his love of deer hunting. From the time he was young, he always had the latest and greatest car or truck and he loved to share his excitement with everyone when he got something new.

His tastes extended to the finer things in life.  He was a loyal fan of  Luna’s margaritas and a proud supporter of the Houston Astros.  He never met a steak and potato he didn’t like and his burgers were always just right—meat, cheese, and French’s mustard, nothing more, nothing less.

Rob is preceded in death by his grandparents, Zackie and Florence “Tootsie” O’Neal, and his stepfather, Thomas Crum.

He is survived by his wife, Siriluck Aeaw McNamara; his children, Zach McNamara, Gage McNamara and Jordan Alicia McNamara; his sisters, Alicia Maldanado (Michael) and Natalie McNamara; his mother,  Lynn Crum;  his father and stepmother, Robert Paul McNamara and Cindy McNamara; his nieces, Macy Franzese (Bryan) and Julia Jackson; his nephews, William Toalson and Preston Toalson; and his great-nephews, Luke Franzese and Brody Franzese.

The family will welcome friends for a visitation on Friday, December 6, 2024, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at Crowder Funeral Home in Dickinson, Texas. A celebration of Rob’s life will take place on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. at the same location.

Rob’s larger-than-life personality, warmth, and love for those around him will be dearly missed but forever remembered.
