Robert Galloway

1956 ~ 2024

GALLOWAY - We are sad to announce the passing of Robert William Galloway of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, on February 20, 2024, after a valiant battle with cancer.

He was born May 12, 1956, in Oxbow, Saskatchewan and predeceased by his father, Dr. Gerald D. Galloway and his mother, Hilda Galloway. He is survived by his wife, Glenda (née Warwick) of Oyen, Alberta, and their children, Sarah (Shawn), Aaron (Rhiannon) and grandchildren Arwen and Aiden; siblings, Diane (Ron), Carl (Catherine), Gerry (Shelly), Jim (Shirley). Glenda’s siblings, Joyce, sister-in-law Judy, Lorraine (Ken), Rita (Charles), nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

Robert enjoyed an amazing childhood, rich with family, friends, nature, and adventures on the prairie hills overlooking the Souris River and summers spent at ‘the Lake’. Being a father and grandfather was pure joy for Robert. He was intensely proud of his children and grandchildren.

Robert lived his life on his own terms, and he loved it!  He maintained a simple lifestyle that always created an abundance of time for what mattered most to him. He could not wait to get up each day to enjoy the wonder of life and his only regret was that it had to end. He remained kind, gentle, humble and forever ‘Robert’.

Following Robert’s wishes, there will be a gathering of family and friends at White Bear Lake, Saskatchewan (his most favourite place in the world) in July.

Robert and his family have immense gratitude and appreciation for the quality care he received from Dr. Hendriks, the unit doctors, nurses and support staff of Unit 33 at the Wetaskiwin Hospital and Care Centre.

Robert would be honoured for donations to be made to the Wetaskiwin Health Foundation (www.wetaskiwinhealthfoundation.com) in lieu of flowers.

Honoured to serve the Galloway family
