Obituary of Allen Gordon Robertson

It is with great sadness the family of Allen Gordon Robertson announce his passing on August the 22nd, at the age of 55—after a hard-fought battle with cancer.

 Over the weeks that Al faced the numerous effects of his diagnosis, those around him couldn't help but be humbled. He showed incredible strength and courage in the face of sudden and unspeakably difficult circumstances. In spite of these he somehow managed to hold onto his wit, humour, and stubbornness. We wish he would have had more time to do the things that made him happiest in life; like spending time with his cherished grandson, riding his motorcycle, hunting, carving or playing some tunes on his guitar.

 He was loved dearly by many and will continue to be remembered fondly by those whose paths intertwined with his in life. He is survived by his wife of 32 yrs, Leanne; children Kody and Katie Robertson; grandson Kasper Robertson (Kody); dad Gordon (and wife Elaine) Robertson; siblings Lianne (Laurie) Read, Sherry Robertson (Jon) and Lisa Robertson. He was predeceased by his mother Louise Robertson.

 We are incredibly thankful to the staff at Dunrovin for their kindness and campassionate care of Allen. We'd also like to thank everyone who was able to visit Allen and help his family. Your kindness and effort did not go unappreciated. Clayton's funeral home was superb in helping make a difficult time bearable and we are very thankful. A memorial luncheon for Allen will be held on the 30th of September, 11:00 at the Elk's Hall, in Quesnel. Anyone who knew him and would like to attend is welcome.
