Robert Chaney

Robert (Bob) Treleaven Chaney, born April 24, 1951 in Albuquerque, NM passed to a better life August 20, 2014 in Katy, TX. Bob was raised in Texas and attended Alamo Heights and MacArthur High Schools in San Antonio. He followed his Father into the hotel business and traveled the country. After settling in Houston, he began working in the metal building industry. He was with NCI Building Systems for many years until he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Bob and Shelli had just celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary and were beginning to plan for retirement travel. His oldest son was recently married and Bob was thrilled in the planning. He never shied from work or play and was often called the "project elf". Bob's love of Family and friends was enduring. He was preceded in death by his Father Jack, Brother Jack Jr. and Brother Mark. He is survived by his wife Shelli, Mother Helen, Brothers John and Lane, Sister Suzanne, Son Robert Treleaven Gano, his wife Tara and Son Derek, Grandchildren Cameron, Devon, Addison and many friends. Anyone who knew Bob will surely miss him. He had a big heart and a personality to match. Bob was always quick with a joke and even quicker to lend a helping hand. The family would like to thank the many doctors, nurses, CNAs and hospice for their kindness and caring. There was a celebration of Bob's life held on September 6, 2014 from 4-8 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
