Eric Scott Robertson went to be with the Lord on December 29, 2025, at the age of 59. He was born to Robbie Lee Robertson and Carl DeWitt Robertson on November 30, 1966. He was the youngest of three children, born and raised in
San Antonio, TX, though they spent many happy days fishing and playing down along the Texas coast. He is preceded in death by his father, Carl Robertson, and his brother, John Rex Robertson and sister-in-law Grace Robertson of Elgin, TX. He is survived by his mother, Robbie Robertson; his sister, Beverly Kay Manuel and brother-in-law Terry Manuel of
San Antonio, TX; his beloved wife of 38 years, Christi Diane Robertson (Coleman), as well as their 5 children and 5 grandchildren; his daughter Carissa Bryant and her husband Caleb Bryant of Florence, KY, and their three daughters Charlotte (Carly), Cheyenne, and Claire; his son Coleman Rodriguez; his daughter Erica Blanchard and her husband Josiah Blanchard of Pleasanton, TX, and their two children Sadie and Ulrich (plus baby boy Samuel- due in April); his son Isaac Robertson; and his daughter Ann Robertson. He loved each and every one deeply and cherished time spent together.
He met Christi D. Coleman at the age of 16 at Car-Vel Skateland during a church youth event. He loved telling this story to his children (and congregation). Christi was truly the love of his life. Their relationship was formed through Christ from the very beginning. They enjoyed many other church events in their youth years while dating. They married 4 years later on May 30, 1987. They worked hard, supporting each other through their college years. Scott graduated from Dallas Baptist University with his bachelor's degree and later received his master's degree in seminary.
He began his work in ministry as a youth pastor and served in this role for 13 years at several churches. He began his calling as full-time pastor in 2001 and faithfully served four churches over the next 25 years.
A recent accomplishment which he greatly enjoyed was becoming a licensed HAM radio operator. His call sign was KJ5ARN. Scott loved to learn, and this technical hobby and its community were met with enthusiasm and joy.
He established Harvest Country Church in 2014 in Verdi, Texas, in an act of faithful obedience to God. God established the work of his hands (Psalm 90:17) and it grew with the families and individuals who God led into his care. Scott played a number of instruments, but everyone knew him for the guitar. He had a true heart of worship, celebrating any genre of song that glorified Jesus. His greatest desire was leading people into the presence of the Lord- here on earth through worship, and in eternity through his preaching.
