Robert Lloyd Millar

Obituary

Passed on

May 25, 1943 – February 18, 2025

 With great sadness the family announces the sudden passing of Robert Lloyd Millar, our beloved dad, brother, gramps and great grandpa on February 18, 2025, at the age of 81. Bob was predeceased by his cherished wife Marlene, much-loved son Russ, his parents, Jim and Agnes Millar, and siblings: Ollie, Arla, Arnold, Angus, Ray and Alice.

 Bob was raised in Harperville, Manitoba and married the love of his life Marlene Mason on September 23, 1961. Dad will be deeply missed by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren – son: Mitch & Julie, Marri & Leif, Jenna & Braden (Arlo, Mickey), Lannea & Devan; son: Bobe & Joanne, Richard, Dennis & Katie (Macie), Derek & Jenna, Chad & Alex; daughter: Theresa & Stuart, Jackie & Rocky (Malory, Leonidas, Carly, Vanessa, Maximus), Shawn (Leighton, Brittin, Everly), Curtis & Sharmanda (Annaleigh), Jason & Erinn, Austin & Mackenzie, Tyson, Avery; son: Tim & Sandra, Heidi. Also mourning his loss are his sisters Grace and Bernice (Louis), brother-in-law Ken (Sylvia), numerous nieces and nephews, as well as many long-time friends.

 Mum and Dad had a wonderful marriage, and their strong bond of love was felt by each family member. They were always together, often surrounded by family and friends around the kitchen table. They had mutual interests which included their passion for horses and travelled often to the World Horse Show in Oklahoma. Their strong work ethic was evident on the farm and while running the Oak Point Chalet. In recent years, dad enjoyed weekend car shows throughout the province and tinkering in his garage with a particular interest in his 1930 Ford Model A. He occasionally strummed on his guitar; it was a real treat when he did this with his brother Ray. Dad appreciated the time spent with his family over a meal or a joyful celebration. He was a respected Oak Point community member, attending various community events and supporting folks who needed his help. He loved his grandchildren, and they enjoyed discussing and laughing about his many ‘grampa-isms’ with each other.

 Dad lost a little bit of himself when mum died. As part of his will, on a piece of paper, in his beautiful penmanship, he made a very special request. Dad stated that it was important to have his ashes and mum’s ashes placed in the same urn so that they would be together forever.

 A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday April 5th at 2:00 p.m. at the Oak Point Hall in Oak Point, Manitoba. If desired, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba.
