Bob's obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dad and husband John Robert "Bob" Skea, better known as Bob, on June 2, 2024. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle, Bob was born on December 31, 1948, and lived a life filled with his love for driving, craftiness, wit, love, and a lot of fun stories.

Bob will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Patricia Ann Skea (Setynski), his daughters, Corrinne Garrett and Amber Skea, and his grandson, Bobby Skea. He is also survived by his siblings, Jacqueline Farmer, Beverley Bower, and Jack Skea.

Bob was predeceased by his parents, Audrey and Butler Skea, his sister Bonnie Skea, and his brother Raymond Skea. His family will hold onto the deep love he had for them and the lessons he taught about the importance of family.

Bob had a loving personality. His giving nature, his craftiness, his wit, and his knack for storytelling will forever be remembered. He was also known as "Mister Fix It," a testament to his many skills, and was an accomplished truck driver. His stories and lessons will continue to inspire those who were fortunate to know him.

A burial service will be held in his honor on August 10, 2024, at 11:00 AM, at the Fort Langley Cemetery. Following the burial, a Celebration of Life will take place at 12:30 PM at Adrian's At The Airport. All invited are welcome to attend and celebrate the remarkable life Bob led.

May his soul rest in peace, his laughter on our lips, and his stories in our hearts. Bob, your spirit will forever live on in the lives you touched and the family you cherished.
