My heart breaks with the news of Rory’s passing. Rory and I dated back in grade 8 and in highschool when he lived with his grandma in Toronto. I am so grateful for the memories we made. I know he’s at peace now and no longer fighting his demons. Rest easy Roar, until we meet again xo
Bob, Heather, Sherri, Bryan & Sierra. You have lost a Son, brother and a piece of your Heart. Patrick, you have lost your best friend, but most of all Isobel and Gabriel you have lost your daddy. Rory always put his kids first. He had a good repour with us and our family. I remember his smile would light up the whole room. The day he came through the hospital doors into the waiting room with his arms wide open and so thrilled he had his first child (Isobel) Rory, you will always live in our hearts, and I ask for those you left behind that God will wrap His loving arms of comfort around them while they grieve your loss. It's time to rest now my friend and we will carry on your love for your children as you watch over them. ??
As you already know, your entire family is in our hearts and prayers. This is a hard loss and it will take a great amount of time to even start to heal. We are always there for your family. Hugs to all of you. John, Rose, Kass and Mike Dobie
Always Forever My First Born Son , Rocking Rory . I love you . ????? Catch ? Xo
Dearest condolences ? I will always remember Rory as a part of my high school experience when I first met him we automatically connected and became friends forever! There’s never been a time Rory was not the most supportive friend I could of asked for. I’ll always remember his smile in the back of my mind laughing together and reminiscing about our memories. May he rest peacefully and may both families heal from this tragedy.
There are no words to adequately express the heartache felt by Rorys passing. It will be up to us to ensure Izzy and Gabe keep the memory of their daddy alive in their hearts and minds with stories and pictures. My heart goes out to all of Rorys family and friends.
