ROBERT JOSEPH BROWER

With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Robert Joseph Brower, on June 27, 2025, at the age of 23. Robert's life was filled with love, adventure, and an unwavering commitment to his family and friends.

Born on September 1, 2001, in Fort Worth, Texas, Robert was the eldest child of Lisa Ann Brower and Robert Carlton Brower. As the big brother to triplets Sam, Ben and Carolynn, Robert embraced his role with pride and fondness, often guiding and protecting his siblings with a maturity beyond his years. 

Robert's early years were spent in Fort Worth, where he attended Trinity Valley School and McLean Middle School. His childhood was filled with adventures with his siblings at the family ranch, vacations to see cousins in California, and playing football and basketball team sports.

In 2016, the Brower family moved to Southlake, Texas, where Robert continued his education and graduated from Carroll Senior High School in 2020. Robert was proud to play for the Southlake Carroll Water Polo Team, the experience catered to his natural competitive and athletic ability.

Robert enjoyed keeping up with different sport teams and his hobbies included playing basketball, hanging out with his friends., kayaking, hunting, and spending time with family. He found joy in simple moments, kayaking down the San Marcos River, fishing trips, watching sports, gaming online and spontaneous road trips with friends. He had a deep love for the outdoors, especially when he was the one driving. He took pride in hiking part of Mount Elbert in Colorado with a close friend and learning to ski. Born on the first day of dove season, his passion fro the outdoors may have been destined.

Loved by many in his life, Robert's friendships that span decades who were drawn to his humor and ability to connect to others. He enjoyed spending time with his friends either online or doing outdoor activities and he treasured the friendships that shaped his life. His close friends, Charles and Cristo, were among those he leaned on and truly understood him.  Friendships, both online and in person, were meaningful and lasting, each filled with unforgettable memories.

Robert's greatest loyalty was to his family. His mother was his person, his anchor, and best friend. Their bond was unshakable, built on unconditional love, mutual trust, and a shared sense of humor. He was also a fiercely devoted older brother to Ben, Sam and Carolynn, always looking out for them with a protective heart. His love extended fully to his father and his Grandma, both of whom he admired deeply and held close. Robert was endlessly kind-hearted and empathic-he felt the emotions of others as if they were his own, and he made it his mission to lift people up. He had a talent for cracking jokes at just the right moment, bringing levity to any situation, yet he was also deeply reflective and passionate. To those who knew him, Robert was not just a son, brother and grandson he was a source of warmth, connection, and unwavering love

He is survived by his parents, Robert Carlton Brower and Lisa Ann Brower; his siblings, Benjamin Carlton Brower and Carolynn Ruth Brower; his grandmothers, Patsy Ann Hicks and Fannie Brower; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who were touched by his kindness and heart of gold. 

Robert was preceded in death by his beloved brother, Samuel Montgomery Brower and his grandfathers, Robert Allen Hicks, and Joe Bailey Brower.

Family and friends will gather for a Celebration of His Life at 6:00 pm Monday, July 7, in the Chapel  at Harper & Lucas, formerly ROBERTSON MUELLER HARPER, with a private graveside service at Eliasville Cemetery in Young County, Texas the next day. 

Robert's legacy is one of love, strength, and unwavering loyalty. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten, as his spirit lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He was called home by God, to be reunited with his brother, Sam.
