Obituary for Barry Rowat
Lovingly Remembered
Robert Martin Barry Rowat (1942 - 2021)
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Barry Rowat announces his passing in Edmonton.
Sad are the hearts that love you, silent the tears that fall, living our lives without you is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for us, your heart always kind and true and when we needed someone, we could always count on you.
Barry is survived by his loving daughter Kim (Scott). Along with his daughter, Barry is lovingly remembered by his grandsons: Ryan and Tyler; his brother Mel, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, friends and relatives.
Barry told many stories about growing up in Saskatchewan and working as an electrician for M&S Coal as well as the experiences of living overseas and working for Saudi Aramco. He was quickly recognized as a true professional, taking great pride in his work, and was always willing to lend a hand. When he returned to Canada, he worked at the Ekati Diamond Mine for many years.
He will be remembered for his quick wit and teasing jokes that brought smiles to the faces of all he met. Barry enjoyed time with friends and family, always with a smile on his face, and a joke or two to share. He was an avid reader, enjoyed hockey, astronomy, watching documentaries, and loved traveling.
Barry was predeceased by his wife Carol; son Jason; sister Joan Phair, and parents Vivian and Gray Rowat.
~Always loved, Forever missed, Never forgotten~
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Barry to the University Hospital Foundation - Transplant Services at the University of Alberta Hospital.
