Robert Paul Kuban III

September 12th, 1955 – July 6th, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert Kuban, who departed this life on July 6th at the age of 69.

Robert was born on September 12th, 1955, in Richmond Texas, to Willie Mae Kuban and Robert Kuban II of Needville. He lived a life marked by following his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ first while focusing on family and friends. He was a friend to everyone, and his presence brought light and warmth to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

He was known for his hard work ethic. He worked for Dow chemical company for 40 years. Any gadget or problem you had he could fix it right up or invent something new. He loved hunting and anything outdoors. He almost never missed Church services and loved to volunteer at the food pantry. He always had a way to make us laugh with his silly jokes or riddles. He also enjoyed playing Sudoku in the newspaper. Robert gave fully and loved his family and friends deeply.

He is survived by his wife, Rosemary Kuban; daughters, Tiffany, Tami and son in law Todd Shilt, and Tara and son in law Matt Way, grandchildren, Mersady and husband Ali Bhanji, Raygen, Rylee, Ryan Shilt, Myla and Skyllar Way; great-grandson, Amir Bhanji, his sisters Marilyn (Mike) Rehak and Cynthia (Ed) Ischy, brother Donnie (Teresa) Kuban, and many nieces, nephews and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Kuban II and Willie Mae Kuban.

Relatives and friends are invited to his viewing on Tuesday July 15th from 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM at C.T. Baker Funeral Home 634 S. Columbia Dr. West Columbia.
