Unexpectedly passed away on October 19, 2026 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, at the age of 58.
Predeceased by his wife Helena.
He will be sadly missed by his beloved daughter Shaylee (Jack), his cherished parents Robbie (Sandra) and Frieda, his dear brothers Richard (Holly) and Graeme (Vanessa), and his nephew Callum.
Robert Rob Craig was a dedicated employee, he truly loved his career with Air Canada and took great pride in his work. He also enjoyed sharing his passion for skiing as a ski instructor with the CSIA. He was a proud member of the Masonic Lodge, Branch 66 in Newcastle, and loved to travel and explore new places. A loyal sports fan, he enthusiastically cheered on both the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Glasgow Rangers.
Above all, he will be remembered for his enormous heart, his warm, teddy bear-like nature, and his dry wit and sense of humour that could bring a smile to those around him.
Special thanks to the first responders and staff at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, as well as Paul and the staff from Anytime Fitness.
