John Owen Robinson
It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of John Owen Robinson, a loving father, devoted Grandfather, and friend to all whose lives he touched. He left us on September 24, 2023 at the age of 67.
John Robinson, also known as “Bill” to friends and family for years was born on February 13, 1956 in Red Deer Alberta. John was a scaffolder and loved his job, not only was he great at it but he valued the opportunity to mentor scaffolders new to the trade, especially when his children decided to follow in his footsteps and start their careers in the same field.
John was preceded by Father John Robinson, Mother Cecelia Robinson (nee Flynn), and his brother Gregory Luke Robinson. He is survived by his brother Randy Robinsons, and sisters Joanne (Butch) Henry and Dianne (Doug) Skow. John will be forever missed by his son Owen (Britney) Robinson and daughter Caitlin (Gavin) Robinson. His Grandchildren Arianna, Cali and Ryli meant the world to him.
John will forever be remembered for his words of wisdom, sense of humor and love of music. He was a caring father, extraordinary Grandfather and a great friend.
Who ever lives on in our hearts will never leave us. He rests easy now in the arms God
Sorry for your loss Owen & Caitlin, saw Bill in June at Auntie Ruth’s funeral and it was so nice to catch up with him. Will always have very fond memories of him when we were all a lot younger. Pat Tennant (Robinson)
I was so very grieved when I heard the news. My sincere and deepest condolences to his family, and all who knew and loved him.
My very good friend is gone from reach. He will always be with me in laughter and understanding. I will think of him often. We had such great times together. From ecstatic times on stage playing the music we loved to contemplative moments in the countryside, we had some great times in this world. I hope you’re in peace with no pain. Rest easy my good friend. I hope we meet again. Here’s to you Bik !!
John, Thank you for being a part of this life. You showed me compassion and kindness that I will never forget. My faith in humanity was restored because of you. I will miss you till I see you on the flipside. My condolences to Johns family. He is truly missed and will never be forgotten. May you all have the comfort and love you need through this transition.
