Roy Reppart

Roy’s passion in life was exemplified by his desire for everyone to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. II Corinthians 5:18-21 “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Roy Paul Reppart was born on January 30, 1966 and passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 17, 2012.

He is survived by his loving wife, Kelly Bachtel Reppart; her children whom he called his own, son, Carter Hill and daughter, Rachel (Kyle) Grayson and his beloved granddaughter, Jilyinn Grayson whom she affectionately called her “Poppy”; parents, John and Patty Reppart; sister, Tonya (Bill) Flanegan; brother, J.T. (Tricia) Reppart; grandmother, Lois Marstrell; mother-in-law, Molly Bachtel; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, “Roy” A. and Julia B. Reppart; maternal grandfather, Rev. Phillip “Paul” Edwards; father-in-law, Darryl Bachtel; brother-in-law, Kyle Bachtel; and step grandfather, Don Marstrell.

Roy was a 1984 graduate of Ontario High School and worked at Honda of America East Liberty Plant. He and Kelly were faithful co-laborers of Welcome to Grace Ministries under Pastor/Teacher Curt Crist.
