Lyle H. Renfrow

Lyle H. Renfrow, age 68 of Cleveland, Texas, passed away Friday, February 23, 2018. He was born September 18, 1949 in Dixon, Illinois.

Lyle is survived by his sister Bettye McKennon and her husband James of Cleveland, Texas and his brother Tom Roark and his wife Dottie of Austin, Texas; also, many friends and dog PeeWee. He is preceded in death by his parents Dean H. Renfrow, Helen Callahan Roark, and Hill Roark; and his brothers Loyal Renfrow and Raymond Roark.

Lyle had mid-western roots, but he moved to Texas as a child and was ever a Texan at heart. He lived in many places around the country and the world, but he loved Texas and always returned, living mostly in Highlands or the nearby area. He was a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, enjoyed Texas wildlife and the Texas music scene of the 70s where he had a front row seat to many spontaneous jam sessions in Luckenback before it became widely known.

Lyle was a carpenter by trade, doing mostly remodel and cabinetry until he was no longer able. In later years he combined those skills with his artistic bent, building fun birdhouses, yard windmills, and odd wooden art projects.

He was a proud veteran who served in the US Army Signal Corp in Germany during the Viet Nam era. His passing will be honored at a later date with a memorial service at the Houston National Cemetery.
