Robert Dunbar Obituary

He was a dynAmic & dedicated preacher. Myself & Friends would oft visit in late 70's ... Ms Dunbar played a lively organ... we would picnic nearby so as to make evening services. Thanks for the wonderful services.

Brother Dunbar was one of the few people I have known in my life that I could sit and listen to for hours. He was never boring. He always uplifted everyone around him. He stood up strongly for Godly principles, lived by them and admonished others to do the same. He and Sister Dunbar were just plain old enjoyable to be around, AND, he could preach!! His legacy will live long after we are gone.

I attented Rev Dunbar church in the year of 1985.....and I remember he did a sermon about being a pearl....my brother heard the same sermon and said to our mother later on that he was a pearl...Papa has joined the rest of the pearls in heaven.....

Am just hearing about the deaths of dear Pastor and Sister Dunbar...my deepest condolences to Susan, April, Bobby, Tammy, and Vernie. Had the privilege of attending Lighthouse Temple in the early '70's while living in CO. Shall never forget that time...worship was incredible...and no-one played the organ like Sister Dunbar! Was always blessed by the solos by April...such a beautiful voice! I'm still being blessed by hearing some of those services, as I recorded many and still enjoy them now that I'm in CA. Such fond memories and so much love for all the Dunbar family, as well as the Lighthouse congregation.

I'm 46 years old and still have not found a PREACHER as awesome as him and I was 10 first time heard him preach. He always gave God all the glory and would say that he had no power in his pinkey finger unless God put it there......love you both Pastor and Sister Dunbar! Thank Yal for showing us God's love and what He Really wants from his children

My deepest condolences to Susan, April,Bobby, Tammy and Vernie on your Mother and Fathers passing. I hold fond memories of all of you. Sincerely Neil Ortega.

Heaven has gained a valiant warrior of the cross who left an outstanding legacy behind in his son Robert, who has stepped into some very large shoes, his daughters, spouses and grandchildren, all dedicated servants of the Lord! Papa Dunbar was one something very special to all who knew him. The memory of the limited amount of time we were able to spend with him will always live in our memory!
Dr. Martin G. Tharp and Family

Our lives and ministry were enriched by knowing the Dunbars!

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF HIS PASSING, BUT KNOW HE IS IN GLORY WITH OUR LORD! PASTOR TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES-CERTAINLY MINE-HE WAS THE ONE THAT THOUGHT IT WAS WONDERFULL TO LIVE IN WYOMING (I'M STILL NOT AGREEING WITH THAT, BUT VERY BLESSED TO BE HERE).

Lifeline Ministries would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Dunbar. We remember with fondness our friendship over the years. Dr. Dunbar was very interested in our mission work in Mexico and Haiti. Everytime we saw him, he would say, "Hey, Donny Boy, how's things going?" He had the distinction of being the only one to call me that. Lighthouse Temple has supported our ministry for lots of years and does so at the present time. Dr. Dunbar believed in what we were doing. We are so sorry that we won't be able to attend. "Donny Boy" is 81 now and has not been feeling well. This will get better and he will continue his Haitian ministry along with his wife, Trish, and daughter, Shanda Tripp.
We will keep the family in our thoughts and prayers.

I can see our dad's dancing on the streets of Glory. He was such a large part of our lives while we were living in Colorado Springs. Our prayers are with you at this time. Jerry & Betty Dukeman, Williams, AZ.

My very Deep condolence to the DUNBAR family. Papa Dunbar had a very deep influential impact on my family and I.I remember the time he looked at my daughter and said god has not forgotten about you and ever since that she has been living in the lord faithfully day by day. I remember how pastor was always so comical he always made me laugh my very best to all the family love always Carla

I mourn with the Dunbar family losing their wonderful patriarch. During this bittersweet time, we hope in the comfort and peace which only comes from God. In Christ.

Susan, April, Vernie, Tammy, and Bobby ... loved your dad and mom and the great influence they had on me. Love all of you too and pray the peace of God on you all.

What an honor to have served beside such a great man of God. Your integrity and influence touched my life and I am forever grateful for your encouragement to me as a developing minister of the gospel. Your legacy lives on! Pastor Steve Holder, Lead Pastor Bethel Church, Goldsboro, NC.

Pastor,
The impact that you have made in my parents (Ron and Jimmie), my 6 brothers and sisters lives as well as mine is to great to put into words. I will always be grateful for the times you came to the hospital to visit and pray for me when I was sick. Thank you for your devotion to Gods Word and sharing it with my family.

Susan, April, Bobby, Tammy and Vernie, I want to extend our deepest condolences. Pastor and Sister, as well as you, have meant so much to our family. Dad (Elmer Hogarth), my brother (Ed Hogarth) and I, though we have been gone for over 20 years still consider Lighthouse Temple as our home. Pastor was a great man of God! He is definitely missed.

I respected this MAN. Great Preacher. Wish I could be there.LOL to you all. Gary and Nancy James

Susan and family. What a difference he and your family made in my life as God's ambassadors. You all are his legacy, and what a remarkable one you are too. God bless. Holding you in my heart and prayers. Love, Pam Hillis

Susan, Bobby, April, Tammy, Vernie. Your dad was a giant influence in my life. I am so glad that he is walking with Jesus right now. God Bless you and comfort you always

Our hearts are sad with you at the loss of Uncle Bob, but we are rejoicing also that he is Home now, celebrating with all those who have welcomed him there.

So many memories, too numerous to list, all of them wonderful treasures to cherish forever. Uncle Bob was a life force unlike any other, a personality as big as all outdoors, and a heart to match. He had so many amazing stories of all those years in the ministry and evangelistic work, touching lives and sharing a message of salvation, forgiveness, hope and healing. He was always so generous with his love and laughter; fascinating to be around and just a wonderful person in every way. We loved him dearly!

Our prayers of comfort are with you, and we pray that you will feel the sweet presence of our Savior in the days ahead.

My heart goes out to all the Dunbars

April,
This is Sue from Springs Roofing. I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss. I also lost my Dad on January 11. Please let the family know that you're in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. I think of all of you often; and especially think of your Mom and Dad on the motorcycle.

Pastor, mentor, father figure, friend. Instrumental in the Lord's transforming my life from 1971 until the present.

He married my husband and I on Feb 7th 1960 at the church on weber and platte. He will surely be missed a great preacher. Reo and Anita Zentz
