Courtney, Robert Lee 90, of Kansas City, entered his heavenly home on December 7, 2017. He was a man of strong faith, much wisdom, abundance of love, gentle spirit, compassion and empathy. He was born December 8, 1926 in Hoisington, KS, son of James and Jewell (Weatherford) Courtney, whom preceded him in death. Robert served in the Navy during WWII aboard the USS Randolph. He later graduated from Central Bible School. He walked every day of his life in service to God and strived to always be a light to all. He was a man of small stature but from the pulpit his voice was that of a strong giant, ministering to congregations big and small all over the states as an Assemblies of God Pastor for 50+ years. Robert is preceded in death by his wife of 50 glorious years, Nelle (Bradsher) Courtney; sister, Donna Johns; brothers, James and Glen Courtney; niece, Paula Higgs; granddaughter, Victoria Kelderman. Robert is survived by his loving wife of 18 years, Una Pearl Farley of MO; his three daughters and sons-in-law, Judy Comstock (Carl) of KS, Rheta Landon (Dwight) of KS, Mellanie Renfro (Randy) of MO, his son, Robert Courtney of TX; three stepchildren, Vicky Haley (Jim) of OK, Jim Duncan (Janie) of TX and Kevin Keagle (Katie) of IL; 22 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; two nephews and niece; along with many friends and church family, all whom he loved immensely. Robert is laid to rest at White Chapel Cemetery in Gladstone, MO.
