Dr. Robert Bevington

It is very saddening to loose a man that was an Icon since my childhood. Whose children were my best childhood friend, and childhood sweetheart. I can't imagine the loss they feel. Time and distance have separated the relationship. The feelings from my heart for their friendship and the friendships with others in the church will be with me always.

Marilyn,

I am so sorry to hear of Bro. Bob's passing. My father also went to be with the Lord last year, so I know your sorrow is great. My consolation is knowing that Dad & Bro. Bob are up there rejoicing in the Lord and having a wonderful time with all our loved ones who passed before. You and your family always meant so much to me and I have never forgotten. I want you to know that I'm praying for you, your Mom and family.

Love & Prayers,

I learned about Brother Bob when my first book, The Great Exchange, was published. I went to Amazon.com to see the listing and Brother Bob's book popped up. So I bought it. You see, we share the same name and the same Lord! I hoped to meet him some day, but I'll just have to wait. It's encouraging to read of his faithfulness in ministry!

Bro. Bob I loved so very much. He was a great servant of Christ Jesus Our Lord. He was a true blessing and friend of mine through the years. My dad attended and was a member of the Tabernacle for many years. I always loved to here him preach and give a invitation. We lost a great and true servant.

I am so sorry to learn of Bro. Bob's passing, but I know he is in a far better place than we are. I remember as a child my Mother listening to him on the radio and he came to our area to preach a revival at Tabernacle Baptist in Bassett,VA, my family didn't attend that church but we went to the revival.In September 2000 my Dad was in Knoxville Baptist Hospital since he had gotten sick while on vacation in Gatlinburg and Bro. Bob visited him. Dad said he didn't have to introduce himself he...

Mrs. Mary Scates is happy now. She can see and hear Bro. Bob preach again. She loved him as her minister, friend and person. She hated to miss church and all her friends there which she spoke so highly about. Pray for Mrs. Bevington for her loss also and give her strength and also his congregation which has lost a great pastor and a great person. Thru my mother and my trip to Alaska with the church a few years ago, I also knew him. May God bless all church members and friends.

Bro. Bob has been my families pastor for 48 years. I had the priviledge of being in the first class when K.B.C.S was founded. Bro. Bob was a fine example of what a Christian life should be all about. Faith, Love for his Lord & Saviour, and being steadfast to the very end of his earthly life. We will miss you Bro.Bob,until we meet on that beautiful shore.

Still in shock several hours after I read the notice from Brother Tony in the latest KBT newsletter, my only regret is not being able to join the others who bid Brother Bob farewell. Privileged to meet this faithful shepherd this side of eternity, his passing greatly increases my desire to also be in the presence of our Lord in our eternal Home. Now "He's not here!" also applies to Brother Bob as it did our Savior on that early resurrection morning. I pray that lonliness and loss felt by...

Bro. Bob was my mother's (Mary Scates)pastor for many years. She loved and supported him and Bro. Albert until she went to be with the Lord two years ago. Thank you, Bro. Bob for your steadfast ministry. R.I.P.
