Charles “Harrol” Kolb

Charles “Harrol” Kolb, age 86, of Andrews, TX, passed away May 23, 2022, in Midland, TX.

Family and friends gathered for a graveside service at 2:00 PM Wednesday, May 25, 2022, at The Andrews Old Cemetery, in Andrews, TX. Officiated by Brother Kerry Pack. Arrangements are under the care of McNett Funeral Home.

Harrol was born July 28, 1935, in Lubbock, TX. to Robert Ernest Kolb and Eloise Blanch “Willbanks” Kolb. He has been a long-time resident of Andrews moving here in 1946. On May 28, 1957, he married Norma Jean “Doty” here in Andrews. He died just five days short of their 65th anniversary.

Harrol was a very hardworking man that never met a stranger. Harrol would start his long days off meeting up with the guys at the coffee shop every morning between 4:30 and 5:00. Harrol was generous, and he loved to help others. Anytime you left him, you could hear him say… “Let me know if you need anything,” and he meant it. If you called for his help, no matter how large or small the task might be, he would come running, grinning ear to ear, ready to help. He was always up to any challenge that presented itself. He was able to overcome any obstacle through his never-ending determination, persistence, and patience. His family wasn’t sure if he ever uttered the word “No.” Harrol was a faithful husband and loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and a good friend. He will be dearly missed.

Harrol is survived by his wife: Norma Kolb of Andrews, TX; son: Steve Kolb and wife Staci of Andrews, TX; daughter: Debbie Fowler and husband Barney of Andrews, TX; brother; Doyce Kolb and wife Pat of Decatur, Al.; 5 grandchildren: Paige Bowman and husband Jeremy, Tye Fowler, Kendall Davis and husband Tillman, Jase Kolb and wife Ansley, and Blake Kolb; and 7 great grandchildren: Mackenzie, Hailey, Brooks, Parker, Cooper, Brady, and Allison.

He is preceded in death by his parents: Ernest Kolb and Eloise Smith; twin brother: Carrol Kolb; brother: Jesse Hittson; and sister: Betsey Wheat.
