Robert Starling Obituary
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our father, Robert "Bob" Starling. Bob was born on July 24, 1952, in Edmonton, Alberta. He passed peacefully at his home in Vegreville, March 11, 2025, from several medical conditions and ailments, at the age of 72.
Bob is survived by his sister, Edna (Gary) Bullock; brother, Owen (Brenda) Starling, children, Robbie Starling, Share Starling, Jesse Starling, Kelly (Chery) Starling, and Bobbie Starling; grandchildren, Matthew, Lashae, Isaac, Aarron, Hailey, Whitney, Colin, Kiana, Kinley, and Kelby, as well as a few grandchildren he regretfully never got to meet. Also left to cherish his memory are numerous nieces, nephews, extended relatives and friends.
He was predeceased by his parents, Vera and Edward Starling; sister, Linda Church; and brother-in-law, Brian.
Bob had a passion for the open road and had many miles travelled under his belt long-haul-trucking or taking vacations with the grandkids. He was always on the go, always willing to share his wisdom, or just hug you tight on a bad day. He always made sure to be there when you needed him. Always stepping up to be the best grandpa and dad he could be, making modifications on everything so that no grandkid was left out.
In his final days, he was surrounded by loved ones spending time sharing stories and remembering our best of days. He will be greatly missed. As dad said to the end, he had one H*** of a ride. Your hat has been hung high with pride. 'Til we meet again.
