Curtis Robertson

OBITUARY FOR REVEREND CURTIS ROBERTSON: Reverend Curtis Junior Robertson, 83, of Rockport, Texas, stepped into eternity on Thursday, June 5, 2025. Born on December 4, 1941, in Bakersfield, California, to proud Texas Citizens Curtis Sr. and Lorene Robertson, Curtis was the eldest of five siblings—Rene, Johnny Ray, Suzie, and Wayne. From an early age, he was known for his quick wit, relentless curiosity, and an impossible personality to ignore. Whether you loved him, sparred with him, or simply listened to one of his legendary stories, you never forgot Curtis Robertson. He earned degrees in Civil and Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&I University and went on to live a life marked by both professional excellence and fearless entrepreneurship. Over the years, he launched and operated several businesses, including Robertson Mechanical Contractors, Trinity Valley Construction, American Airflow, Property Management Services, and The Multi-Level Inquirer—a trailblazing investigative newspaper that exposed the corrupt and deceptive marketing schemes that were rampant in Multi-Level Marketing throughout the World in the 1980s. He also worked in oil fields and refineries throughout the United States as an Engineer, and worked for several companies such as Arco, British Petroleum, Brown & Root, and one of the Nation's first Environmental Projects with French Limited LTD, as Project Manager. But beyond blueprints and headlines, Curtis was a man of deep conviction, unshakable faith, and fierce generosity. No matter how lean the times, he made it a point to help those in need, never forgetting the true measure of success: serving others. Curtis believed in family with all his heart. Over the course of his life, he was married three times, and often said he had been “blessed to share life with women who made me a better man.” These marriages brought him ten beloved children: With Edie Hennesay Robertson (now Edie Germany), he fathered James Randal (Randy) Robertson, RickyRay, and Rodney Vaughn Louise'. With Diana Lee Castle Robertson, he had one son, Riobard Robertson. His marriage to Cortny Bullman Robertson was blessed with six children: Faith Purtell, Joshua, Landon, Logan, Madison, and Caleb Robertson. He was the proud grandfather of three: Macy Elyse Robertson, McKenlie Autumn Robertson, and Melody Stone Robertson. He was a great-grandfather to four: Sadie Jade, Kash, Maverick, and Camden. And he was “Uncle Curtis” to dozens of nieces and nephews who adored his humor and larger-than-life presence. As devoted as he was to his family, Curtis’s deepest devotion was to the Lord. Ordained in the 1960s by the late Reverend Oscar Salstrand at Corpus Christi Tabernacle, he gave his life fully to ministry. In the early 1970s, he founded Word of Life Ministries, a bold and Spirit-filled radio broadcast that reached listeners across Texas, Louisiana, and Mexico. Curtis served as Pastor of Robstown Assemblies of God and later as Associate Pastor of Kenefick Baptist Church. He was a singer, songwriter, and musician known for his tenor vocals and his amazing guitar work. In his youth, Curtis played guitar with legendary Country artist Don Williams. He was a founding member of the Gospel group "The Country Disciples," and his musical talent is part of the legacy he has passed on to many of his children. He traveled extensively as an evangelist, always preaching with conviction, compassion, and authority. He was a member of the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship International and served faithfully on the boards of Aman Ministries and i-Church International. For Curtis, faith was not merely a belief—it was breath. It was action. It was identity. His daily conversations often turned to the power and presence of a living God. He didn’t just preach glory; he longed for it, talked about it, and now he is part of it—he walks in it. He is preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Johnny Robertson; his sister, Suzy Miller; his late wife, Diana Robertson; and his cherished son, Rodney Vaughn Louise' Robertson. Reverend Curtis Robertson Jr. will be laid to rest on Friday, June 13, 2025, at Oakville Cemetery in Oakville, Texas, surrounded by the family he loved and the faith he never wavered from. He finished his race. And now, he hears the words he lived for: “Well done, My good and faithful servant.” Services entrusted to Roberson Funeral Home of Three Rivers, Tx.
