Rob is survived by his wife Paula, son Kevin (Ksenia) of Whitehorse, sister Donna (Ken) of Blackfalds, AB, sister-in-law Jo-Anne Korytko of Milk River, AB, brother-in-law Steve Korytko of Lumby, BC and Dorothy Jack (mother of Kevin) of Marie Raine, AB as well as two nieces and five nephews.

He was predeceased by his daughter Tracey, and parents, Betty and Charles Jack.

Rob was a true testament of standing up for what you believe in and always said, “I am just saying what people really think.”

Rob moved to the Yukon in the late 1970s and worked in the trades as a professional drywall finisher throughout the territory. Rob had a 29 year career with the Whitehorse Fire Department and was humble but truly proud to be a firefighter. He loved to be in the outdoors, whether flying planes, boating, or fishing. In his retirement, Rob enjoyed watching rodeos in Alberta and strumming old time country music on his guitar. He and Paula also enjoyed many car shows in southern Alberta. He took much pride in his 1968 Mustang and later, his 1955 Chevy Pickup.

He was a loving husband, a great father and a friend to many.

The family wishes to extend our deepest gratitude for the care Rob received from the ICU nurses and doctors at Chinook Regional Hospital.

At Rob’s request, there will be no service. Cremation entrusted to Cornerstone Funeral Home in Lethbridge, AB.
