Robert James Konarik, 59, of Humble, TX, passed away July 21, 2018. He was born on August 9, 1958 to Lukas L. & Edith Cunda Konarik Jr. in Houston, TX. He grew up in the Oak Forest Area, enjoying many trips fishing with his family. Whether fishing the North Jetties at Port Bolivart or camping with his family in Colorado, Robert enjoyed lots of time outdoors with his parents and siblings. Much of this time was also in pursuit of motorcycles and fast cars.

Robert graduated from Waltrip High School in Houston, and attended technical school, focusing in aviation technology. He spent 6 years in the United States Navy, receiving an honorable discharge in 1986. A majority of his professional life was spent at Hewlett Packard. Also Robert and his friend and business partner, Mark Larsen, operated Professional Services Network, an electronic/computer service company from 2001 to 2011. He and Mark remained fishing/gambling buddies afterwards. Most recently Robert occupied his time making repairs to his town home in Humble, damaged by last year's hurricane and subsequent flooding.

Robert enjoyed frequent trips to the farm at St. Mary's, where he could be found in his recliner, playing video poker. He also enjoyed trips to Lake Charles with his mom, family and friends.
