ForeverMissed

Every morning for so many years now, Robby Ott consistently asked God one question: "How can I glorify You today?" This morning, Robby woke up in the arms of his Heavenly Father with a new opportunity to glorify Him face to face forevermore. Right this second, Robby can sing God's praises without struggling for air. He can strum his guitar without his fingers bothering him. He can run and jump for joy without assistance. We'd even like to think there's a little patch of green in Heaven where he can go golfing with God! We believers know without a doubt that Robby's with his Father in Heaven. And we know it to be true because his beloved Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, has defeated death and overcome the world so that you and I can be reunited with Him. Our hearts and prayers go out to Robby's family, our dear sister April and their beautiful children, who no doubt are grieving their loss. Please continue to remember them in your prayers. Please continue to bless them with the time and space they need to breathe, respecting their need for privacy at this time. The Garden Church intends to organize opportunities to minister to our Ott family; please feel free to contact us for more details if you'd like to join us in serving our brothers and sisters. And remember that Robby would want us to be steadfast in continuing God's work, each of us being sure to begin each and every bright new morning with prayer, asking, "How can I glorify You today, God?" God bless you all. We love you dearly. Thank you for faithfully praying for Robby, April, their precious family, and our church. And praise God for His victory through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Father has been glorified through your incredible testimony. In this dark world, you were a beacon. Your light shone brightly for all to see, and and it will never be extinguished because you live on in our hearts. We all prayed for a miracle, and every day that you drew breath, God granted us a miracle. I am so sad that you are gone, but I am so thankful that I knew you. Your direction determined your destination, and your life, you story, your commitment and devotion gives me hope.

Although I never had the opportunity to meet Robby in person. The Television Ministry at FBC in Florence has meant so much to my life. Although I enjoyed Dr. Inabinet's sermons, it was always a joy to me when Robby filled in for him. I thoroughly enjoyed Robby's sermons every Sunday when he took over. I always taped his sermons to watch at a later time. His sermons meant so much to me. I will miss him dearly. God bless his family and friends.

RIP Robby! You were such an inspiration to so many and I can only imagine the joy you felt when you looked into the face of God this morning and seeing Him with his arms outstretched saying,"Welcome home, my loving and faithful servant."

I've had the privilege to know Robby & April since high school and our days in the youth group at church. I remember when they first began dating and Robby saying that he was going to marry her one day! I have so many wonderful memories of the fun times we had. Like many after high school, we drifted apart. Then years later connected again when April was in Pharmacy School with me! Facebook allowed us to keep up with each other's lives and for me to follow Robby's journey with cancer. 2 & 1/2 years ago I got to see Robby & April when he came back to Charleston to share his story. God for sure hand his hand on all this because the very next day my brother was diagnosed with cancer. He knew what I was going to be facing and put Robby & April back in my life at just the right moment. I asked them so many questions about chemo and leaned on them both during the worst time of my life. Even though Robby was fighting his own battle, they were both there for me any time I reached out during my brother's 14 month fight with cancer. Robby was such an amazing man of God! I feel blessed to have known him and be able to call him my friend. I am praying for strength and comfort and peace for April & their children in the days and weeks ahead. Robby touched the lives of everyone he came in contact with. His story isn't over yet. In fact it is the beginning of a new one. Unfortunately for us it is "to be continued" until the day we are united with Robby again. ❤️

Sincerest condolences to April, the children & all of Robby's family & loved ones. What an incredible witness he was in the way he lived his life for Christ. I cannot comprehend the grief April & their children are surely experiencing. But, what an amazing eternal life Robby is now privileged to live with his Lord & Savior. May God give comfort to Robby's family & may they take some solace in knowing he now lives in the kingdom of Heaven.

I was not priveleged to meet Robby until late in his journey with cancer, when I attended him in the hospital as his nurse. We had many mutual friends and I had met April last year. I had also heard him speak at the Choice to M8ke Gala 2 years ago. It only took a few minutes of time with him to become immediately connected to him and to the Savior whom he served. Robby had the most incredibly sweet Spirit in the worst of times. His life was obviously not his own, but belonged to the Father. I grieve with April and with his children, but I rejoice with Robby as he has now touched the face of the Savior and is basking in the light of His glory.
