Gary Robertson

Gary passed away into the arms of his Savior, after a very brief illness, on February 4th, 2025 in Sarasota, Florida where he had been spending time for the last 17 years. Gary was born in Moncton, NB on August 16, 1948, to the late Warren Grant Robertson and Doris Ivy Burnham. He is survived by his beloved wife, Dixilee Robertson (nee Davis), and his children, Dacia Robertson of Moncton and Darren (Chrystal) Robertson of Saint John. He was one of eight children and is survived by his brother Kevan and his sisters, Debbie, Denise and Michele, all of Moncton. He was predeceased by sisters Beverly, Avryl and Angela. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Joy Steffler of Waterloo, Ontario.

Gary started his career with Olivetti and trained with them in New York City. He bought and grew an office equipment company and started Greco Pizza before finding his passion of working with clients and their families as a Financial Advisor. Gary and Dixi worked as Financial Advisors in Moncton for over 35 years where they built a strong team and served many clients helping them plan and grow their assets.

He was well loved by all who knew him. He was very caring and generous throughout his life and affected many people with his welcoming way. He was interested in politics, and he enjoyed music. He loved his neighbors and friends like they were family. Gary always had time for people who wanted to talk and brought a smile to people with his witty sense of humour. He and Dixi travelled to many places including Israel, Asia, Ireland, Iceland, and Italy before doing 4 river cruises through Europe. Lots of good times revolved around food and friends and family. Dacia and Darren (Chrystal) were both able to spend some great time with Gary in Florida this past year. Also dear to his heart were his many pets.

There will be a celebration of life at the Robert A Toale and Sons Funeral Home, 7454 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34231 (dignitymemorial.com) at 11:00 AM on March 6th with Reverend Scott Rich officiating. Visitation will take place prior to the service starting at 10:00 AM.

Gulf Gate church and his church family has been a big part of Gary's life. Gary had a relationship with the Lord all his life, and he was baptized in the Gulf in 2016. With the same passion he brought to his businesses, Gary pursued an understanding of scripture and enjoyed spreading the word of God.

He wanted his ashes to be buried in the Family Plot alongside Dixi’s family in New Dundee Ontario. There will be a graveside service in May in Ontario and there will be a Celebration of Life Service in Moncton NB in July.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Gulf Gate Church, Selby Gardens or Samaritan’s Purse.
