We Remember

WEBB, Roy Keith (Reverend)

May 15, 1925 — January 5, 2023

Roy Webb went peacefully into the presence of His Lord and Saviour, Jesus, on January 5, 2023, at the age of 97 years.  Roy was born in England on May 15, 1925.  When he was 2 years old, his mother and stepfather immigrated to Canada along with his older brother, Derek.  They lived for a time in Saskatchewan and then moved to Kelowna, BC.  After his mother was miraculously healed, the family came to Christ and attended Evangel in Kelowna.

Roy served in the armed forces during WWII.  Shortly after the war, he attended Bible College in Victoria, BC, where he met the love of his life, Lois Rathjen.  After graduation from Bible College, he moved to Campbell River to assist in the church there.  On May 5, 1950, Roy and Lois were united in marriage, and together they had three children: Keith, Kathy, and Laurel.

In 1952, they began pastoral ministry with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.  Over the years he pastored in eight churches in British Columbia often as a bi-vocational pastor to support his young family including logging, mining, truck driving, and as an electrical contractor.

In 1990, Roy retired from fulltime ministry and in 1994 relocated to Armstrong, BC where he and Lois assisted their son, Keith, as Seniors’ Pastors.  In 2004, they moved to Kelowna and into Gordon Park Manor where he once again attended Evangel, coming full circle.  In April 2021, he became a resident at the Village of Mill Creek and lived there until his death.

Roy is predeceased by his brother, Derek; his sister, Sylvia; and his daughter, Kathy.  He is survived by his loving wife of 72 years, Lois; his son, Keith Webb (Debbie); his daughter, Laurel Brannon (Jon); his grandchildren, Cindy Larden and her two children, Daniel and Jacob; Randy Urbanowski (Christine) and their two children, Vivienne and Nicolas; Ronee Adams (Paul), and their three children, Katelyn, Jacob, and Andrew; Jeff Webb (Megan) and their three children, Liam, Sawyer, and Isla; and many nieces and nephews and extended family.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada Global Missions.

A Memorial Service will be held in the spring at Evangel Church in Kelowna (details will follow at a later date).

    Auntie Lois, Keith and Debbie, Laurie and Jon, and all of your families, our heartfelt condolences at Uncle Roy’s passing. We pray the Lord’s comfort and strength to sustain you in the days ahead and that fond memories of Uncle Roy and the lasting legacy he left will warm your hearts. I read this quote this morning and thought I’d pass it on to you: “Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.”
    With love and prayers, Shirley (Webb) and Don Siemens

    To: Auntie Lomie, Keith & Debbie, Laurie, Jon and all family members. It is with sadness and joy that I send this message. Sadness that Uncle Roy has passed but great joy that he is now in the presence of Jesus with those gone before. There will be times of tears and he will be missed. There are so many memories that will come flooding in but I know God will comfort you in those times. He will already have heard the words, “welcome thou good and faithful servant. Enter into your rest”.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
