It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Claud Ewald Robison, 74, of Howardwick, Texas, on January 6, 2026, just 3 days shy of his 75th birthday.
Claud was born on January 9, 1951, to Jim (B.J.) and Billie Jean Robison of Turkey, Texas.
He attended and graduated from Turkey High School where he served as Junior Treasurer of the Turkey FFA from 1965 to 1966.
Claud served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He returned to Turkey, where he farmed, ranched and started his family.
Claud worked several jobs over the years before finding his true calling. He was a well-respected and successful salesman for Chamberlain Motors in Clarendon, Texas. Claud never met a stranger, and his magnetic personality and sense of humor made him a joy to be around. He retired after a long and prestigious career.
Claud had many interests, like playing the guitar, but one of his favorites was attending the annual Bob Wills Celebration in his hometown of Turkey. There he donated his FFA jacket to be displayed, proving to be a generous gift and an honored piece of Turkey High School history.
His greatest joy was his grandchildren. Claud was a beautiful soul who lived a restful, peaceful life and will be forever missed. Claud was preceded in death by his parents, father and mother-in-law Loyd and Charline Mays, and sister-in-law Shelley Robison.
He is survived by his wife, Deena Robison, of the home; his sons, Billy Robison and wife, Kathy, of Fowler, Colo.; JoDee Robison and wife, Amy, of Silverton, Texas; Ryan Robison of Howardwick, Texas; beloved grandchildren Destiny King of Fowler, Colo., Joseph and James Robison of Silverton, Texas, Chloe Robison of Howardwick, Texas, brother James (Jimbo) Robison of Amarillo, Texas; niece, Halley McCarty and husband, Russ, of Spring, Texas; great-nephews, Jace and Jaxon McCarty of Spring, Texas; and brother-in-law, Lynn Mays and wife, Laura, of Howardwick, Texas.
Claud’s life will be celebrated with a memorial service at 2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, at the Church of the Nazarene (3rd & Holly Street) in Clarendon, Texas.
Visitation with the family will be held in the fellowship hall following the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Church of the Nazarene, 273 Hawley St., Clarendon, TX 79226, (806) 874-2321.
