Obituaries – Their Stories Live On

My memories of Uncle Bobbie go way back to 7th St in East Park, Free and Independent. However, the relationship went beyond the church doors. We were family. My mom was more like a sister to him than a friend. That relationship lasted all my life, and was so strong that he requested that my she sing at his home going while he was ill. From drummer to choir director to pastor, I was blessed to witness each one of those phases of his life and he remained the same humble man he'd always been. Kind, considerate, and loving....all adequate descriptions of Bishop. My prayer is that God will grant peace and comfort to the hearts of all who knew and loved him. RIH Uncle Bobbie💜💜💜🕊✝️🙏🏽

Bishop Tunstall was a long time neighbor.We are sending condolences to the Family.

I am so sorry to hear about Bishop Bobby Lee's Home going. He was such a great man that showed humility always. I am so happy to have been part of the Faith Temple of Deliverance Family. His laugh was one that you would never forget. You fought a good fight and you have finished your course. I know you are singing and dancing and praising God. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. Love you Bishop!❤️

Years ago as a child around the age of 4 years old I was admitted to Appalachian Hospital along with my brother with pneumonia and the Doctors had us in croop tents. It was this man who came in and gave us our breathing treatments along with his mother, Evangelist Thelma Tunstalle who worked in respiratory therapy at the time. Several years later the Lord allowed our paths to cross again and this same man used to set in our home from midnight until time for me to go to school as a Home Child Care supervisor, little did I know that the Lord was setting the stage to place us under his leadership at Faith Temple of Deliverance from the time I was 12 years old until I turned 19. He went from being a respiratory therapist, home child care supervisor, friend, Pastor & Spiritual Father. Soooo many memories flood my mind from the years at 119 Deegans Street and abroad that I'm grateful and cherish every single moment that the Lord allowed me to be under his leadership. We had some absolutely out of this world services, revivals, conferences, choir workshops & Watch Night Services you wouldn't believe!! He birthed me in Ministry almost 25 years ago this coming April. He was there for me and our entire family through the good, bad, ugly & indifferent. I honor the fact that a couple years ago he opened the door for me to come home and Minister at the church again as a Son of the ministry. When I lost my dad over 2 years ago despite his own health challenges he was there and preached my dad's Homegoing as only My dad & I would've wanted it. In fact he left dialysis to come straight and preach the Homegoing and to me I'll never forget that as long as I live. I was blessed to go and spend some time with him about a month or so ago and I cherish the very last conversation we had and the things he shared with me. He was truly a general in the Kingdom. This morning I awoke from a dream that literally had me shook and I shared it with my wife. So puzzling that I couldn't get myself together, only to understand a few hours later what it was all about. This morning the body of Christ at large lost a true Soldier and Man of God from Labor to reward. Our hearts our hurting, however we celebrate the victory that He's resting in the arms of the Master in that city whose builder & maker is God. Rest well Vice-Bishop B. L. Tunstalle, you fought a great fight, kept the faith & finished the course. We'll forever love, miss and remember you but rejoice in the fact that we'll see you again. Our thoughts & prayers go out to the Tunstalle, Hopkins, Dillard. Claytor, Grayson & Stewart Families as well as the Faith Tenple of Deliverance TPC, Free & Independent Upper Room Holiness & Triumphant Pentecostal Church Families. Love you all very much and I'm here if you need me.

May the Tunstalle Family find peace in knowing that you are free of pain and suffering. ❤️ EACH AND EVERY ONE

Farewell to my East Park neighbor and my schoolmate. I will cherish all the memories of getting off the bus talking school stuff (it may have been our Geometry problem) until we got to Washington Ave. I know your wearing your crown. Well done you good and faithful servant.

To the family of Bishop Bobbie Tunstalle. This man of God was so easy to talk with. He never passed by me and not speak. He may have to ask my name if he didn't catch my voice. My prayers and condolences are with you at this time of sorrow. Bishop Tunstalle will be greatly miss through his preaching and singing. Continue to be encouraged in the Lord Jesus Christ. Associate Pastor Janet Hairston 🙌

My Deepest Prayers and Condolences to the Family of Bishop Bobbie Tunstalle. Oketta GreenNickens

When it comes to you, there will never be another one. You've came into my life when I was sinking and planted God's roots into my soul. Now my foundation is Matt 7:24-25. You've displayed the actions of a real man, Christian , and a father. Your faith in Jesus provided a lifetime of stability to everyone you encountered. A true vessel for God to use and depend on. Since your Exodus with the rest of God's children on November 28, 2023, Ive felt lost and alone without you. Your death may have paralyzed me for a moment but our memories will hold me and keep me sound. Each tear I cry will reflect the laughter, Bible lessons, basketball games, haircuts, traveling, and the one on one times you've spent teaching me to be God's child. Pops, in this life, I will forever miss you and love you. I'm hurting but I will keep your favorite scripture close to my heart. Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Love Your son, Terah

We rejoice for Bishop Tunstalle's new life as we also mourn the temporary distance as he has gone before us into eternity. Our I am praying even in this time of His passing that someone is won to Christ.

His battle has been fought and his victory has been won! I will miss you on this side cousin but I will meet you on the other side! All my love to the family, Nina Moore
