Robert David Poirier

Suddenly and tragically, on April 1st, 2023 Robert David Poirier lost his battle with his demons. He will be forever loved & greatly missed by all that loved and knew him.

Kindness & love.

If you have it in your heart, even the darkest of days cannot steal that from you.

Robbie would always have a kind word, smarty pants joke or comment, big bear hug, & a way of making someone else smile or laugh when they were having a dark day, even when he was having his own dark moments. If he loved you, you knew you were loved.

Robbie was very proud of & passionate about his volunteer work with the Anchorage Alaska Fire Department & St.John Ambulance in London . His greatest goal in life was to help save lives.

Survived by the light of his life daughter Olivia, love of his life Sarah, Mother Amanda & stepdad Jon, sister & best friend Rowan (best bud - Brandon) & nephews Bentley & Weston, brothers Fletcher (Natalie), brother Tanner and sister Jillian, Mumma Helena, Granny Debbie, Aunt Skye (Andrew), Uncle Bryant (Lauren), Uncle Mike (Holly), Uncle Andy (Sherry) uncle Jonathan, best friends/cousins Kaine & Brittney, his many other cousins, extended family & friends in Canada & the USA that he loved so much.

He will also be missed by his special Alaska friend family Kirsten, Karen, Kim, Dino, Izzy, Aiden & Jacob.

Predeceased by father Shawn, Grandpa/best buddy Brian, Poppa Dave, Grandma Cathy & Grandfather Robert.

A visitation will take place at Needham Funeral Service (520 Dundas Street) on Saturday April 8th, beginning at 12pm, with a funeral service beginning that same day at 1pm.
