Robert Blakes Obituary

It is with deepest regret that we announce the passing of Bishop Robert C. Blakes, Sr., better known as the "Prophet". He entered eternal rest peacefully at his home surrounded by his immediate family on Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 2:30 a.m. Bishop Blakes was the Pastor and Founder of New Home Ministries, A Family of Churches. He was a dedicated Pastor as well as a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Bishop Blakes was a man of much love and great faith who believed strongly that ""with faith all things are possible." He not only preached love and faith, but lived a life that demonstrated compassion and conviction to his mission of serving God's people. While we mourn the loss of this great man, we also celebrate his remarkable life and pray that it serves as an inspiration to others. For those who may ask what they can do to honor him, we simply request that you honor his example of service and accomplishments. Bishop Blakes is survived by his wife, Lois R. Blakes, sons Robert C. Blakes, Jr. and Samuel R. Blakes, daughters-in-law, Lisa and Stacey Blakes, six (6) grandchildren, two (2) great grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends.

I don´t know Bishop Robert C Blakes Sr. but I know he was someone remarkable because now in 2021 I just started watching his son Samuel R Blake´s every morning on YouTube & RC Blake Jr. on YouTube and their messages have been so upbuilding and encouraging. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Bishop Robert C Blakes Sr.

Maybe one of the greatest human beings of this century. He welcomed all souls no matter how badly tarnished. His compassion for other people and there suffering was the greatest gift he always have. No one knows the number of people he saved and gave life to. I was fortunate enough to know him personally . Like all great men of substance he was humble and unaware of his true nature. In my life I walk the walk as best I can , because he showed me the way. I certainly try to be my best .

To First Lady and the entire Blakes family, it is with great sadness and greater joy the I extend my heart felt sympathies at the news of my father in the faith's transition from Labor to Reward. When the very first weekly broadcast of an African American clergyman was to hit the airways in New Orleans, I was priviledged and blessed to be a part of that divine endeavor. I was then a member of the WGNO-TV CH26 production crew that launched an event that would change this world. Many was the time we would record from the Prophet's office, or a Saturday morning service, or a regular worship experience. It was then that I feel in love with this humble and holy Man of God. Little did I know then how my life and the lives of millions would be changed so much for the better by this great messenger sent by God. Prophet Robert Charles Blakes Sr. gave me a hand up when I was at one of the lowest points of my life. He showed me JESUS, and told me simply " God Is Able " Again to you First Lady and your sons, my condolences. Reverend RCB I'll see you over in gloryland where I know you will be very close to the thrown.

To The Blakes Family. From Just One Of The Prophet's Sons.
The Whole World Will Truly Miss
God's Greatest Prophet. At The Age Of (10) Years Old At The Passing Of My Father, Mr. Brady B. Smith Sr. On September 1,1963. Years Later Growing Up Without A Father, Having To Learn How To Become A Man Without A Male Role Model, The Lord God Made A Way For Me To Meet Prophet Robert C. Blakes Sr. And I Wanted So Desperately To Become A Carbon Copy Of Bishop Blakes. Only To Learn That I Had To Learn How To Become The Man That God Wanted Me To Become. I Have Learned To Think God For Allowing Me To Have The Allotted Time That Was Given To Me. When I Hear About Bishops Transformation, I Was Working In My Office, My Wife Ran To Tell Me. But She Didn't Know How To Tell Me Because She Knew That I Would Take The News Very Hard. And She Was Right. My Heart Was Broken. But I Do Think God For Allowing Me And My Wife Yvonne To Be Able To Set And Talk With Bishop About A Year Or So Before His Transformation. I Think God For
First Lady Lois Blakes. May Gods Richest Blessing Continue To Fall Upon Her. And The Blakes Family. With All My Love To The Blakes Family. Rev. Brady B. Smith, Jr.

Thank you SO MUCH, First Lady and Pastors Blakes, for continuing to air The Prophet's messages on the radio twice every morning. The Lord led me to listen in 2000 after eye surgery when I couldn't read my Bible and was randomly moving the radio dial with my eyes closed, searching for a Word. God gave me more than I could ever ask or think by leading me to hear such anointed services. The voice of The Prophet and the reaction of the congregation put me right there, and I feel like I even know some of them by their voices. Although I have never attended, the Holy Spirit causes the anointing to jump into my spirit regardless, even over the air.

I have been Catholic all my life, and during the past three years, God has called me into a new healing and deliverance ministry that He is birthing in the Catholic church. I give Glory to Him for having placed me under the radio and television pastorship of Robert C. Blakes, Sr. for 13 years in preparation. The Holy Spirit was and still is teaching me through such a great man of God. I shall continue to listen to him as long as you air his messages and to watch your television services as God continues to anoint your family in different callings in the body of Jesus Christ.

While I sometimes start to feel sad when listening because I realize that he is no longer here, the authority in his own voice to run the devil out of town snaps me right out of it, and I take authority myself and get the victory by not losing my joy. I am sure he will only know the scope of his outreach after we all get to Heaven. "Good God Almighty. Amen. Halleluiah. Glory to God!"

Continue to keep the Ministry going and being a blessing to others as the Prophet was. Prayerfully submitted,

To The Blake Family. I was really shocked and just really sad to have learned about the lost of Bishop Blake's Homegoing. I miss seeing him on T.V. It has been hard trying to keep up with his services and different channels. And 3-nights ago, here in the month of June, I am just now learning the lost of the Bishop. This has really hit me hard. But I know God knows his business. My heart goes out to all of you. As we all know, There is no greater love, than the 'LOVE' of God. I am sad....But I know the lord is our comfort in times like these. Soon we will all be done with the troubles of this old world one day. RIP Bishop. And may God bless the entire family.

I still listen to one particular message from 3 years ago that broke off the burden of Depression. I wrote him a letter and never sent it. I was planning on coming out this summer to visit. God knows all things---This was Truly a Prophet who loved God. YOU will be sorely missed. Now Rest in Him.

New Vision Family Worship Center and myself want the Blakes family to know that we are praying for you during your time of sorrow. We are praying that God will strengthen you. The Bishop was such a Mighty Man of God he will be sadly missed.
The Bishop left a legacy behind. He is a tough act to follow. May you find comfort in remembering the time you had him in your life. Be blessed.

There could never be enough words to describe such a great man. First Lady Blakes, Bob, and Sam just remember that now Bishop is in heaven with our God and as each day passes on he will continue to watch over and lift you all and your families to God. Bishop Blakes may be absent from heaven on Earth but he is most certainly present with The Lord. I will continue to pray for your family and may God bless you all.
