Robert Blair ( Robbie, Rob )

July 28, 1988 – June 26, 2019

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rob on Wednesday June 26, 2019 at the age of 30 years.

A wonderful son to Gordon Blair and Pamela Blair, and brother to Charlie.

Greatly missed by aunts, uncles, cousins, two grandma’s who knew his favourite treats, and many friends made along the journey.

Remembered by many for his sparkling eyes, easy demeanour and smile, laughter and giggles, and always kindness.

Rob loved to travel, in Ontario over many summers to spend time with relatives, and later studying and traveling in Europe.

He was a graduate of Agnes Davidson, Gilbert Patterson, LCI, and the University of Lethbridge (Math). Rob, in his last few years, struggled with his mental illness, which eventually led to his passing. He needs to be remembered not for this, but as the happy-go-lucky fellow that he was.With no funeral service now, a Celebration of his Life is being planned for later this summer.

In lieu of flowers etc., any donations to the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta would be gratefully appreciated, so that others may be helped. https://www.schizophrenia.ab.ca/ how-i-can-help
