FACCA, Robert Facca

Robert Facca, 76, of London, Ontario, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. He leaves behind his beloved family and all who knew and loved him.
Born on May 30, 1949, in Fumane, Veneto, Italy, Robert was a devoted and loving husband, father and Nonno, and whose life was centered around his family. He was married to the love of his life, Wendy, for 50 years. Together they built a life grounded in love, commitment, and family.

His passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of his wife, Wendy; his children, Rob (Nikki), Joey (Abby), and Lisa; and his five grandchildren, Louie, Oakley, Bella, Khloe, and Clara, who were the greatest joy of his life. Robert was pre-deceased by his parents, Bernardo and Maria Facca, his in-laws, Frank and Catherine MacConnell, and his brother-in-law, Frank Kuchta. Grieving his loss are his brother, Gino Facca (Sharon – deceased), as well as his many relatives, nieces and nephews, whom he loved dearly.
He will be remembered for the way he protected, encouraged, guided, and loved his family, and for the strength, integrity, and compassion he showed every day.
Robert was also a dedicated businessman for over 50 years, proudly serving the community and surrounding areas by providing all their fastener needs. He took great pride in his work and in the relationships he built with customers and colleagues over the decades.
Robert was known as “Grandpa Bob” during his inspiring 4,000 km walk across Canada to raise awareness and funds for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, helping raise over one million dollars toward finding a cure. His dedication brought hope to thousands of children and families, and left a lasting legacy of compassion and generosity.
Robert was known for his kind heart, steady presence, sense of humour, generosity, and the unwavering love and support he gave to those closest to him.
