Memorial Baptist Church

Many of you know by now that David Roberson passed away this past weekend. Visitation will be at Crespo and Jirrels Funeral Home on Tuesday evening from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm. The service to honor David will be held in the Chapel at Crespo and Jirrels Funeral Home on Wednesday beginning at 10:00 a.m. 

I have a number of fond memories of David. I remember the stories and conversations. I remember having pie and ice cream at David and Jean’s. I remember the garden and the produce. David had a unique gift of gab with people; he never met a stranger. He loved Jean, his family, Memorial, and people. David had an evident sensitivity toward the Lord these past years. He very much missed being at church and attending his Sunday School Class as his health declined. 

I remember a conversation we had one day about “reputation” and how he valued being a man of his word. If David told you he would do something, it would get done. One’s reputation is important in terms of living a life of character. David stressed the importance of being a man of your word. I’m going to miss David. He was a great guy. I’ll miss his humor and encouraging words.
