Early life
Marion Gordon Robertson was born in Lexington, Virginia, on March 22, 1930, into a wealthy political family, the younger of two sons. Absalom Willis Robertson (1887–1971), a centrist Senator, and Gladys Churchill (1897–1968), a housewife and a singer, were among his parents. Robertson was branded Pat by his six-year-old brother Willis Robertson, Jr., who loved patting him on the cheeks as a child while saying "pat, pat, pat." Robertson wondered what first name he'd like to use later. He considered "Marion" to be effeminate, and "M. Gordon" to be concerned, so he went for his childhood nickname "Pat."
Robertson was enrolled in the preparatory McDonogh School outside of Baltimore, Maryland, when he was eleven years old. He attended The McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he graduated with honors from 1940 to 1946. He gained admission to Washington and Lee University, where he obtained his B.A. Magna cum lauded a grading magna cum lauded in history. He was also a founder of Phi Beta Kappa, the country's most prestigious academic honor society. He was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. "Although I worked hard on my coursework, my true interest was concentrated on the lovely young women who attended the nearby girls schools," Robertson said.
The draft was revived in 1948, and Robertson was given the option of joining the Marine Corps or being drafted into the Army; he chose the first.
"We did long, grueling marches to toughen the guys," Robertson described his military service as follows: "We did long, grueling marches to toughen the guys, as well as increased firearms and bayonet training." "I ended up at the headquarters command of the First Marine Division in Seoul the same year," Robertson says. "The Division was deployed in the hot and dusty, then bitterly cold section of North Korea immediately above the 38th Parallel, which was later identified as the "Punchbowl" and "Heartbreak Ridge." The US Marines have given Robertson three Battle Stars for his role in the Korean War.
Paul "Pete" McCloskey, Jr., a former Republican congressman who served with Robertson in Camp Pendleton, Jr., wrote a public letter criticizing Robertson's service experience in 1986. Robertson filed a libel lawsuit against McCloskey, but he dropped the lawsuit in 1988 in order to devote "his complete attention and resources" to the Republican nomination for president of the United States.
On his return to the United States in 1952, Robertson was promoted to First Lieutenant. He obtained a law degree from Yale Law School in 1955, near the top of his class. However, he failed his first and only attempt at the New York bar exam, which did not deter Robertson because he never intended to practice law. He underwent a religious conversion and decided against embarking on a career in finance a few months later. Rather, Robertson attended The Biblical Seminary in New York, where he earned his Master of Divinity degree in 1959.
Personal life
In 1954, Robertson married Amelia "Dede" Elmer, a fashion model and beauty queen who was studying for her masters in nursing at Yale University. She had also been a nursing student at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. They remained married until her death in 2022 and had four children, among whom Gordon P. Robertson, was a scholar at the University of California.
Robertson was hospitalized on August 11, 2017 after suffering minor injuries in a fall from a horseback riding crash.
Robertson died of an embolic stroke at his Virginia Beach home on February 2, 2018. A member of his family noticed his symptoms and alerted emergency medical personnel. He was then taken to the nearest stroke center, where he was administered the clot-busting drug tPA. About eight minutes after his stroke began, Robertson was alert, up, and moving all of his limbs. He was released two days later and recovered at home. Following this tragedy, Robertson and his family thanked the paramedics and emergency personnel for their "extraordinary care and rapid response." People were also encouraged to research stroke, its signs, and treatments. On February 12, Robertson resumed his hosting duties on The 700 Club.
Robertson was forced to miss The 700 Club for several days after breaking three ribs in June 2019. On his return to work, he described the event as "very sad." He thanked viewers for their prayers later that day.
