In loving memory ~
1955 - 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Robert (Bob) Nickerson in Sparwood on August 13th, 2024. Robert was born on July 8th, 1955, in Trail and grew up in Robson.
He was predeceased by parents, Charles Ronald (Ron) and Phyllis Nickerson; sister Patricia (Pat) Butala; and brothers-in-law Dennis Percival and Rick Bush.
Robert leaves behind his loving wife, Darlene, children Ryan (Zoe) and Kaitlyn (Covy), and siblings Charlie (Lodie) Nickerson, Pam Percival (Bob Baitley), Helen Bush, Sherry (Steve) Farnum, Kerri (Ken) Neufeld and Trudy (Dave) Corney, along with many nieces, nephews and cousins.
In 1974, Robert moved to Sparwood, where he met Darlene (married May 1980). This year they celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary in Mexico. In 1991, he went into partnership and purchased Mountain Mechanical Services, later expanding to Elkford and Cranbrook, Robert retired in 2020 after 29 years of proud ownership.
Robert liked to keep busy, always had time for a good chat and was the first to lend a helping hand. Robert loved to travel and camp. He loved to bring joy to others with the Nickerson Christmas yard display. After retirement, Robert took up golfing with his brother-in-law Ken. His greatest pleasure was spending time with family and friends.
A heartful thank you from his wife, children and extended family to Dr. Petrucha, Dr. Rader, and the rest of the Sparwood Healthcare staff for their exceptional care. Thank you to our family and friends for their ongoing support during this difficult time.
He will be deeply missed
and forever in our hearts.
In lieu of flowers, if you wish, a donation can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
