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 1 year old, his mother and stepfather immigrated to Canada along with his older brother, Derek. They settled in Pontiac, Saskatchewan, and over a ten-year span lived in numerous locations throughout Saskatchewan. They moved to Kelowna, BC, in 1936 with Roy and Derek and all their earthly possessions in the back of a Studebaker pickup. After his mother was miraculously healed, the family came to Christ and attended Evangel in Kelowna.
Roy served in the armed forces during WWII. In 1946, he attended Bible College in Victoria where he met the love of his life, Lois Rathjen. After graduation from Bible College in 1949, 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 electrical work.
In 1990, Roy retired from fulltime ministry and in 1994 relocated to Armstrong 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.
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. He is predeceased by his brother, Derek; his sister, Sylvia; and his daughter, Kathy.
A family-only graveside service was held on Friday, January 13, 2023. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, April 14, 2023, at 11:00 AM in Evangel Church, 3261 Gordon Drive, Kelowna, BC.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, Living Memorial Fund.
