Obituary
Bob Taylor 1952-2021 We are saddened to announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and brother on Thursday, August 19, 2021 at the age of 68 after his battle with Cancer. Bob was born to Roy and Vicki Taylor on September 26, 1952 at Kelvington, Saskatchewan. He grew up on the farm near Kelvington. In 1973 he married Linda Petrie and they moved to Saskatoon until 1978 when they returned to Kelvington. He loved his family and spent countless hours at the farm with family hunting, fishing, relaxing around the campfire. Bob did carpenter work most of his life but was good at many things including landscaping, woodworking, computers, photography, cooking just to name a few. Bob loved “people” and enjoyed time spent with his many friends. He loved to fish hunt, quad, or just relax and visit. The past few years Bob enjoyed travelling to Hawaii, Costa Rica and BC. He met many new friends along his travels. Bob is lovingly remembered by his wife of 48 years, Linda and his three children Bobbi Jo (Randy), Morgan (Tim), and Brett, grandchildren- Paige, Tyrel, Brady, Kaleb, Jace, Jordan and Emma and one great granddaughter Miya. Bob is survived by his siblings Debbie, Cindy, Bonnie and Barrie. Bob was predeceased by his parents, Roy and Vicki and his brother Kevin. Live a Life that Matters Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten Will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousles Will finally disappear So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away It’s won’t matter where you came from It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant So what will matter? What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built Not what you got, but what you gave What will matter is not your success, but your significance What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged other to emulate your example What will matter is not your competence, but your character What will matter is not how many people you knew But how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone What will matter is not your memories But the memories that live on in those who loved you What will matter is how long you will be remembered and for what Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident It happens by choice - A Service will be held at a later date Donations in memory of Bob may be made to The Kelvington Hospital Palative Care Unit P.O. Box 10 Kelvington, SK S0A 1W0
