In Loving Memory
Robert A. Mack
Bob Mack, one of the founding members of Covenant Christian School and current board chair, transitioned to his eternal home on Thursday February, 16, 2023. Bob’s life mission was to work closely with others to use their talents, resources and relationships to meet mankind’s greatest and most urgent needs through the shared love of Jesus Christ. Bob was a visionary, prayer warrior, and fierce supporter of Covenant Christian School. He has served on the Board of Covenant Christian for several years. He was passionate about his work and believed deeply in his mission to build the Kingdom of God. Bob was a close friend to Huntley and also served on the board of the Huntley Brown Foundation. While he was in town, they were often found every Thursday morning at Mothers Pancake House for breakfast. Bob Mack left a profound mark on this world, and Covenant Christian. His legacy of love, light, and leadership will not be forgotten. Bob truly lived up to his life motto which was: “As a firm believer in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I want to follow him faithfully, to know Him more intimately, be more like Him, and to make Him known to others. In conjunction with Him, my wife and family are the greatest source of joy in my life.”
