We Remember

MARTIN, Robert “Dale”

July 21, 1954 — September 28, 2026

With broken hearts, we sadly announce the sudden passing of Robert “Dale” Martin, who was surrounded by loved ones. Dale was kind, a devoted family man and a friend to many.

Dale’s perfect day would be a morning on the lake when the fish are biting, followed by dinner with family and friends, capped off with an Edmonton Oilers victory.

Dale was predeceased by his parents, Jack & Iris Martin, and is survived by his brother, Lee Martin. Dale leaves behind his wife of 21 years, Roxanna; his children Byron (Ayralee), Derek (Michelle), Tasha (Ryan); as well as his grandchildren, Aidyn, Healy, Abi, Deacon, Ella, Kailer, & Kayden.

If the mood strikes, take a moment to have a tipple of your choice – rum and wine were his favourites – and reflect on happy times with Dale; he would love that. Dale believed in quality days over quantity of days – work hard / play hard. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Sport Fishing Institute of BC (SFI), or a charity of your choice.  An intimate gathering will be held at a later time.

Tight lines, Gramps.

    Dear Roxy and Family,
    We just got back from a trip and were so sad to hear about Dale’s passing. It’s hard to believe he’s gone.
    Dale was such a wonderful neighbour, always friendly, thoughtful, and happy to help. Whenever we were away, he would look after our home and even take care of our garbage bins. Daniel always enjoyed chatting with Dale about fishing and appreciated all the tips and ideas he shared.
    I also really enjoyed working with Dale on our strata council. He put so much time and effort into making our community a better place, and we were all lucky to have him.
    We feel very fortunate to have had Dale as our neighbour and friend. We’ll miss him dearly.
    Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
    Mary and Daniel
