We Remember

TORRIE, Robert Bruce

—

Bruce passed away peacefully on September 8, 2026, age 73, in Kelowna, BC.

Bruce was born and raised in Victoria, BC.  Predeceased by his parents, Robert MacIntyre Torrie and Marian Jean Torrie (née Kirby), Bruce is survived by his brothers Tom (Vickie) and Doug (Kathy), niece Madeline (Ryan), nephews Nathan (Camila) and Christopher (Eve), and a great many friends.

Bruce attended the University of Victoria before obtaining his LLB from Osgoode Hall Law School. Bruce then established his own law firm in Vancouver, where he practiced for a number of years before eventually retiring to Kelowna. In addition to his law practice, and throughout his life, Bruce devoted substantial time and effort to environmental causes and, in particular, to climate change awareness.

Bruce will be remembered for his enthusiastic and outgoing personality and the lasting impact he had on those who knew him.

As per Bruce’s wishes, no public memorial service will be held. Those wishing to honour Bruce’s memory are encouraged to gather together to celebrate his life.
