1953 – 2017

The smoky Kamloops BC sky cleared up briefly on August 1 2017 when our Rob died in the arms of his loving wife after a long battle with cancer.

Rob was born in Kaslo BC on September 8th 1953. He grew up in Pentiction BC where he met his then childhood sweetheart and future wife Maria. Rob always worked hard and always did his best. He loved his family. He was a good friend and a kind and caring man. He was a talented musician. He loved to play his guitar and see the grand kids dancing, and your birthday wasn’t official until he played The Beatles “Birthday” song.

He is survived by; his wife, Maria, Children; Crystal, Jordon (Crystal), Daniel, and Adam (Lindsay) as well as his adored grandchildren; Shia, Jayson, Heidi, and Rhys. His wonderful loving siblings; Ben (Perri-Ann), Chris (Nancy), Roseanne (Bob), Bernie (Gail), Gerry (Holly), Veronica (Lindsay), and Paul, and many nieces, nephews & friends.

Rob is predeceased by his parents Benedict & Vivian Surina and sister in law, Anieta Surina.

We are extremely grateful for the amazing support for all the nurses and staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. Bless you all!

“Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you. Tomorrow I’ll miss you.” – Paul McCartney
