Our beloved Robert Boyington passed away suddenly in his sleep from a heart attack at just 67 years old. His passing was completely unexpected and has left our family devastated. My dad was more than a father — he was my best friend. He had a heart of gold, a laugh that filled every room, and he was the best master carpenter I’ve ever known — the reason I followed in his footsteps into master carpentry and my favourite work buddy.

He leaves behind his sons Kyle, Kent, Skip (Marlon) and Anthony, and five cherished grandchildren — Brooklyn, Khalea , Kane, Phoenix and Max. His brothers, Jimmy and Danny and Don Hancock. And best friend and honorary brother Jake. We want to give my dad the beautiful and respectful memorial he deserves, to honor the incredible man he was and say our final goodbyes.

We’re asking for your help to cover the unexpected funeral and burial costs. Every single donation, no matter the amount, truly helps and means so much to our family. If you’re unable to give, please keep us in your prayers and share this fundraiser to help us reach others who may want to support and find out that their friend has passed. His phone is locked and I can’t reach all of his contacts so I’m hoping anybody who’s receiving this can help spread the word to make sure any one of his friends that I cannot reach can hear the news and come and say their final goodbyes. From the bottom of my heart — thank you for your love, generosity, and kindness you have shared with my father and during this heartbreaking time.

we are finalizing funeral arrangements now and will update the page as to where and when the funeral service will take place.
