To the Bartlett family, I wish to send you my condolences for the loss of such a wonderful man, who in my time knowing him, was upstanding, held class and had honour. In my 25 years of working in the field and managing services in half that time, I have never come across such a dedicated, assured man who worked his profession as honestly and passionately as Christopher. I say this as every year, he top scored in his Appraisals and WAS the best worker in ALL of the services, and as his manager made me so very proud to have him in my team. I am so sorry for the loss of this man, for all that he gave to the world and I was blessed to have been graced by his presence for the last 4 years. As a manager, I think I will remember Chris, when he once recently said, that he gets paid doing something he loves. Not many people who go to work can say that. As a person, I shall remember him as a beautiful soul who lit up so much in people’s lives and gave so much love to those who he encountered on his journey. I wish you all well and wish you all peace and love. Delroy E. Ettienne
Doing what he loved best, ministering the word of God. Love you Daddy xx
Pastor was truly person who will help in time of need. I remember when I was moving to Luton and I was not sure whether I was making the right decision. I called Pastor and he gave me assured me not to worry, that all is in the Lord hands. You can call him and he will never turn you away. You can have a laugh with him and ask him for guidance (which I was always doing) I have attended several churches over the years but I have not known a Pastor like Bishop Bartlett. Big thanks from Marie C I pray that the Lord will strengthen Sister Viv, Ameila, Charlotte and Missionary Bartlett at the sad time.
This still doesn’t seem real. Even after having the honour of being at your online home going service, it still doesn’t seem real. I was just getting to know you as just Charlott and Amelia’s dad, Josiah’s Grandad. Sharing family memories without the label ‘Bishop’ although I still addressed you as such. I am saddened that it was cut short. I would like to thank you for always checking on me and where my life was at every time you saw me. For the past couple of years you would always invite me to your church and we did visit a few times which was nice. I know your concern was that I didn’t stray away from God and church but I never strayed, I just didn’t have a church home. I want you to know I have one now. It’s a shame I couldn’t tell you in person. Thank you for being a good friend and the son my Grandad never had. He loves you so much and misses you. You shared the same birthday which was very special. The family will ensure he still celebrates that day and we will celebrate you too. I will miss your presence, humour, huge laugh and smile. You will never be forgotten EVER! My fellow Brixtonian, our Bishop and Friend, sleep well and party hard with the Lord and his angels.

I hope it’s okay to post this here. It is video footage from the vow renewal service I was so privileged to have attended. I am sending you all so much love in this time. We have lost such a vibrant and loveable person in our lives. I am grateful to have been a part of this story in some way. Sending you love. Sophia x
Thank you for being who you were. So pleasant and nice. Such a “people’s” person. For taking the time to come and visit with me and Brother John who truly enjoyed every moment. The way we all laughed together. Our spirit took to you from the moment we met. You will be sadly missed by me, Brother John and our family and, I’m sure by many, many others. Evangelist McIntosh
Remembering Bishop Bartlett, him as a jolly and caring person. He was loved by me and my family and was a regular visitor to my home where he came and picked up his daughter Amelia who I looked after and where he picked up my daughter colette for Sunday school. Bishop Bartlett loved crab tomalley so this was a dish I cooked for him any time he felt for some Jamaican Caribbean food. Bishop Bartlett will be missed by me and my family. Love Mother Blake.
How can we describe such a one, he was very special from the time we first met. I did see him through to salvation, when he got baptised and filled with the Holy Ghost. We did work together including evangelism, praying and fasting, going on the mission fields: Ecuador, Nigeria and so much more. Seeing him becoming a young people's leader then becoming an exalter, minister, elder, pastor and Bishop. When he started courting, his engagement and when he got married, had children and children's children up until his departure. He had made his life an example for many with his compassion for others. His desire was to see souls saved and the best for everyone: familiy, church family and friends. He loves to laugh and make others laugh with his sense of humour, joy and unique laughter. He was a very down-to-earth easy to approach passionate follower of Christ. He had touched many lives both near and far. We thank God for him taking heed to God's call and anointing upon his life. Philippians 1:21 For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. Love and blessings Mother Morgan and Elder Kevin Reid (prayer partners)

What a beautiful and special day this was. You dedicating your nephew Zion. Beebs we love you and will miss you dearly. Life will never be the same without you, but we thank God for you in our lives. I thank God for your life, your infectious spirit, the word you’d preach at any time, the laughter, the genuine love and compassion you had for your family, Congregation and friends, especially in times of need. I will make sure Shaun finds his way through losing his big brother & hero. And that our boys know and never forget their amazing Uncle Beeb’s memory. Rest in Eternal Peace Christopher. Love J. xox
Dear Uncle, when I was born you fondly called yourself Uncle Beebs 2.0. We are so blessed and thankful you were able to meet Shiloh and spend time with him since he was born last summer. Love you Uncle. We will make sure Shiloh knows all about you from us all. RIP. Xox
Love you always Uncle Beebs! I know you are up in heaven with God now. Thankyou for being a loving Uncle to me. I will cherish and have the special memories of you performing my Dedication as a baby too. Family gatherings, soft play date and meals out I will miss with you. Rest in peace Uncle Beebs. Love Master Z as you would call me. Xox
Josiah Misses his Papa Beebs, but I know you are now his guardian angel x
Dear Daddy... There are days I feel like this is a dream, or the hospital made a mistake and I’m waiting for you to call my phone, checking up on us (in particular Josiah lol). As I go through this grieving process day by day, I hold on to the special moments we shared as a family, in particular this picture. You were insistent you were having a photoshoot with your girls, especially as mum had blown up her picture from our girly Pamper day photoshoot. I Thank God!! we fulfilled your request and we got to include the family. The amount of laughter and fun that day was just amazing. I’ve never felt pain like this, but I find comfort in knowing I told you I love you before you fell asleep. I know you are watching over all of us, I will do my best to continue your great work within youth ministry, I’ll always have Mum and Amelia and I will continue to cook the recipes you’ve taught me over the years. Daddy I Love You & I Miss You... until we meet again Charlotte - Louise xXx
You were my rock, my life-time friend and partner. Your laughter was infectious, your smile was magnetic, your embrace was comforting, your prayers were powerful, your love for me was true and you would go to the end of the world for your children. My love, I really miss you, there is a void in my heart and the tears I now shed at your passing overwhelms me. I know you are in heaven and I will see you again one day. Sleep on my darling, my lover, my soul mate, my husband until we meet again.
God has another angel in heaven. As you passed through this world on your life journey, you met and befriended a lot of people. You counselled, guided, taught encouraged and gave to a lot of people, not just financially, but most importantly, you gave your time. I am so privileged to have known you in your life-time. I am so honored to have had you as my brother-in-law. You were a wonderful and excellent father, and an affectionate, and loving husband to my adorable, darling sister Vivien. You shall be deeply missed.
