It is with great sadness, but peaceful hearts that we announce Robert Wayne Vyvey has now gone to spend eternity with his Lord and Savior on Monday, September 8, 2025 at the age of 72.
He will be forever loved by his wife of 50 years, Beckie (nee Benn) and his children Matthew (Shannon) Vyvey, Lena (Joel) Morrison, Emily (Justin) Anjema, Nicole Vyvey (Chad Sheppard) and Jenessa (Michael) McGahan.

Rob is the son of the late Robert and Joan Vyvey and a dear brother of John (Grace) Vyvey and Cindy (the late Robert) Finn. Remembered fondly as a son-in-law to the late Dorothy Benn, a brother-in-law of Gerry (Liz) Benn, Marilyn (the late David) Anderson and the late Ruth (Michael, surviving) Hindmarsh as well as by his extended family, church congregation and his coffee buddies.
