Anthony Robert Alan Smoch

Anthony was born in 1982 in Victoria, B.C. and was welcomed by his Father Anthony, Mother Wanda, (pre-deceased), and his siblings Krystal, Amber, Nicole. His vibrant energy and contagious smile brought a light to the whole family.

Bobby faced significant health needs and at the age of three, after a short stay at the Queen Alexandra Hospital, went to live with Barbara and her children Jeni, David and Angie where he would spend his life. Barbara loved and cared for Bobby as her own and gave him a wonderful life. He loved her dearly.

Bobby attended Parkland High School. He loved to listen to his favourite music and watch Disney movies with his cat snuggled in his lap. He was happiest when basking in the sunlight and listening to the sounds of his family and friends. He never forgot a voice.

Fun adventures with family, too many to count, will forever be in our hearts.

Rest easy, Bob. You are free of pain now and we can imagine you laughing as you run free. We will miss you.

Bob’s family would like to thank the many caregivers who supported him over the years and the caring staff at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
