Obituary of Robert Lawrence Pettigrew

November 26, 1958 - September 30, 2010

Robert Lawrence Pettigrew "Robbie" passed away unexpectedly on September 30, 2010. Robbie was a devoted husband, father, son and brother. His love of the outdoors extended to fishing, hunting and camping. Robbie and his wife Dina moved from Calgary to Brisco, B.C., 7 years ago to enjoy their passion for the outdoors to the fullest, in doing so they made their life there and here more complete by the many close friends they met that became family. Robbie was a wonderful friend who was loved by all who knew him. We will all miss his laughter and generosity as our lives were enriched through knowing him.

Robbie was predeceased by his son Jarrett McNeil Pettigrew. He is survived by his wife Dina Dennis, his sons Curtis and Garrett, his Father Ron, Mother Mary, Brothers Perry (Kim), Joey (Margaret) and Sister Terry (Andy), numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

A Celebration for Robbie will be held on October 10, 2010 at 3:00pm at Robby and Dina's home in Brisco.
