Born in Toronto, Ontario, Robert (Rob) is predeceased by his parents, Sheila (nee Sim) and Thomas. Robert is survived by his four beloved children, Thomas (Tiffany), Shaunna-Marie (Tomoyuki), Meaghan (Cody), and Timothy, whom he raised with their mother Kathleen. Rob was a proud Grandad to Olivia, Abigail, Mari, and Callum.
Rob’s sense of humour and zest for life will be missed by many friends, new and old. Rob’s strong sense of community and civic engagement could be seen most recently as a board member of Camp Quality, a volunteer for the Royal Canadian Legion, the Ontario SPCA, the Salvation Army, and as a “special helper” to Santa at many community events. A lifelong animal lover, Rob will no doubt be greeted with tail wags and kisses from his dogs through the years, including his best friend Oliver.
Rob was surrounded by his four children at the time of his passing, and they express deep gratitude for all involved in Rob’s care at Southlake Hospital. In lieu of flowers, the family gratefully accepts donations in Rob's memory to Southlake Regional Cancer Centre, Camp Quality, and Childhood Cancer Canada.
Visitation for Robert will be held at Kane-Jerrett Funeral Homes - Thornhill on Sunday, November 8th, 2026 from 1:00pm - 3:00pm and 5:00pm - 7:00pm.
Funeral Service for Robert will be held at Kane-Jerrett Funeral Homes - Thornhill on Monday, November 9th, 2026 at 11:00am, with a reception to follow.
