Rodney Noel Baird

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Rodney Noel Baird, who passed away on November 2nd, 2026, at the age of 63 years old. Rodney was born in Etobicoke to his parents Albert and Maureen on January 19, 1963.

Rodney will be lovingly remembered by his children Matthew, Isaac, Jacob, and Russell. Rodney was a proud grandfather to Katie-Anne and Charlie. Cherished brother to Lynn and Neil. Predeceased by his father, Albert, and his mother, Maureen.

Rod often spoke fondly of his many happy memories growing up at the Cottage with his siblings and parents. He worked for many years in the automotive industry in Alliston, Ontario while raising his 4 young boys. He spent many years teaching them the importance of kindness, perseverance, and how to tell a good story. Rod loved to catch up with his sons and spend time with his granddaughters whenever possible. Most recently he enjoyed working for the Royal Canadian Legion in Victoria Harbour and Waubaushene, and will be missed by many veterans and members. He cherished gathering with friends and loved ones to share a beer, tell stories and enjoy a laugh.

A private graveside service will be held for the immediate family at Meadowvale Cemetery in Brampton, on Thursday, November 12 at 12pm.

A Celebration of Rodney's life will be held on Thursday, November 12, where stories, memories, and shared laughter will fill the room. Just as Rod would have wanted. The Celebration of Life will take place at the Waubaushene legion from 4pm-7pm. Those who knew him are encouraged to stop by.
