Obituary of Robert "Bobby" Andrew Marion
March 25,1970 - March 1,2020
It is with heavy hearts that we sadly announce the sudden passing of our beloved brother Bobby Andrew Marion, on March 1, 2020.
Bobby was born in Chapleau, Ontario on March 25th,1970 and his family moved to Grande Prairie, Alberta in the early 70’s. Bobby loved his family more than anything but the true love of his life was his beautiful daughter, Raven Lisa and his grandchildren Logan, Raelynn, Luna and Gunnar. If you were lucky to be loved by Bobby you were loved for life.
Bobby was considered legally blind but yet his talents of being an artist and musician would make you think different; a talent inherited from his mother.
Bobby leaves behind to mourn his sister Diana Marion, nephews; Matthew Rinas (G.P), Andrew Rinas (Alyssa) of Kelowna B.C, niece Amy Rinas (G.P), his brother and best friend Randy Marion (G.P), daughter Raven Marion, grandchildren; Logan, Raelynn, Luna and Gunnar of Red Deer, AB, his step family; Iona Kless, Heather Rodacker (Wade), Violet Kent of G.P and Zinnia Robertson ( Australia) as well as numerous cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.
Bobby is predeceased by his mother Lillian Marion (Vanasse), father Gerry ( Dorice) Marion,
uncles Andre (Drew), John, Gilles, Ronald and Maurice; aunts, Rachel (Law), Monique (Barth) of Ontario;
his paternal grandparents, Jeanne & Thomas Marion, maternal grandparents, Lillian & Felix Vanasse, as
well as his cousin Lori Ann Auger.
Please join us Saturday, March 14, 2020 at 2:00 pm, at Bear Creek Funeral Home, 11802 99 Avenue Grande Prairie, Alberta for a Celebration of Bobby’s life.
If desired, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Bobby’s family.
To My Baby Brother
May your spirit soar in freedom
From the fears that gripped so tight
May you find the peace you searched for
As you wondered, last, in the night
May your tortured mind be clear and calm
And your tender heart be warm
May you have no need for strength no will
May there never be another storm
May the music of the angels
Be the sweet sounds that you hear
As you’re rocked in Heaven’s cradle
May you never shed another tear
I’ll wear your memory proudly
My baby brother, my true friend
May my love for you reach heaven above
Until we meet again
