Obituary for Robert Rudyk
The family of Robert Rudyk sadly announce his sudden passing at his home on Sunday, March 26, 2023. Left to mourn his loss is his wife of 32 years, Shelley Rudyk; daughter Breanne Rudyk (Eric); parents Don and Vicky Rudyk; mother-in-law Sally Latta; and sister Cathy Laaly (Ray). He is predeceased by his father-in-law Ted Latta; and his brother-in-law Barry Latta.
Rob loved his work as a semi-truck driver, then as a driving and safety instructor with Bison Transport.
Rob loved “big trucks” right from his childhood, as well as planes and dreaming of being a pilot. He was very hardworking and was well liked and respected by fellow colleagues and students.
Rob loved and lived big. He enjoyed travelling with a special love for Disney World and taking the motor home to Bird’s Hill Park to soak up the sun and nature; as well as taking his boat out for fishing. He loved animals and was the family favourite of their cats Pixie and Jasmine. He loved listening to rock and roll music and playing his acoustic, electric, and bass guitars. He passed on his love of music and guitar to his daughter, Breanne. His loud voice when entertaining the family with anecdotes from his many interesting experiences, along with his cheerful laugh and dad humour made him the life of any party!
The shock of his sudden departure feels like a hurricane has swept through our lives. He was an especially wonderful loving husband and father, and he worked tirelessly to provide a wonderful life and home for his family and made sure they were all fed as he loved cooking.
We will miss him with all our hearts but know that he is flying free and catching up with his favourite Uncle John, looking after his beloved pets Sheba and Mickey, and meeting his daughter Allison who never made it into this world. Until we meet again.
Family is planning a private celebration of Rob’s life. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Winnipeg Humane Society or charity of your choice in his name.
