With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Robert Weston Tallent.
Robert’s story began in May 1951. He was born the youngest of three in Chattanooga. At 17, he graduated from basic training in Fort Ord, Ca., and returned home on leave where he met Becky. Robert and Becky were 19 years old and married on Dec. 24, 1970. They just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary!
Over the next 20 years, the Army gave them the ride of their life! They began their family in 1971, when their son Darrell was born in Germany. Jimmy followed in late 1972 and his baby girl, Erin, was welcomed in 1983. While serving, he was selected to become a warrant officer and proudly executed missions all across the world. He retired from service and they returned to Chattanooga as civilians.
