Dr. Lee Roberson dies at age 97

This is the obituary for Dr. Lee Roberson.

At 4:45 a.m. on Sunday, April 29, 2007, Dr. Lee Roberson graduated to Heaven. The famed and faithful Christian leader was pastor of the Highland Park Baptist Church in Chattanooga, TN for 40 yrs and 6 months (1942-1983).

It was there that he founded a Bible school and college that ultimately became Tennessee Temple University. Many thousands of graduates trained under his ministry have gone out to serve as pastors, missionaries and Christian educators.

Consequently, as a pastor Dr. Roberson surpassed everyone in his generation in literally touching the world. His vision and his labors extended far beyond Chattanooga to encircle the globe.

Funeral services are scheduled for 1:00 p. m. Thursday, May 3, 2007, at Highland Park Baptist Church, Chattanooga, TN. The body will lie in state at the church from 12:00-1:00 p. m. on Thursday.

Visitation will be held at the East Chapel of the Chattanooga Funeral Home, 404 S. Moore Rd. Chattanooga, TN on Wednesday from 2:00-4:00 p. m. and 6:00-9:00 p. m.

Interment will be held at the Greenwood Cemetery in Chattanooga.
