Robert Ellison

August 31, 1957 — January 23, 2020

Robert “Bodine” Winn Ellison passed away on Thursday, January 23, 2020 at the age of 62. He was born on August 31, 1957 in Corpus Christi, Texas to Robert “Bob” Ellison and Barbara Ellison. Robert was a 1976 graduate of Calallen High School. Growing up he was always a fierce competitor. When he was 7 years old he placed 2nd in the 40 yard dash at the AAU National Championships. His passion was always his love for motocross racing. He was well-known in the racing circuit where he competed nationally while being sponsored by Suzuki. During his high school years he played the drums for the Circle E Playboys alongside his dad and two uncles, Jim and Tommy Ellison. After graduation, he worked in construction and soon became a crane operator of over 35 years, and was currently working for Allegiance. Robert was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan – win or lose, they were his team. If you ever had the opportunity to meet Robert, you had a friend for life. He could light up a room with his contagious smile. He was preceded in death by his son, Robert Zachary Ellison; his father, Robert “Bob” Ellison; his maternal grandparents, Delbert and Aileen Winn: his paternal grandparents, Robert and Winnie Ellison; and his step-daughter, Erikka Wright.
