<div itemprop="description">Robin Peter Neufeld, aged fifty nine years passed away peacefully on May 6, 2016 at the Red Deer Hospital, after a brief illness. Robin was born in Bassano, Alberta on May 23, 1956. Rob grew up in Calgary and spent his school years in the Forest Lawn area. Robin spent much of his working life in the oil fields of the world, overseas, offshore and for many years as a consultant in Alberta where he was known for both his gruff demeanor and his generous heart. He would often be heard to say “Of course I want it today; if I wanted it tomorrow I’d order it tomorrow”. <br> <br> <br>Robin was married twice, first to Mary Neufeld (nee Walsh) in 1988. They had one daughter, Hayley Anne in 1994. Subsequently Robin met and fell in love with Shelley (nee Hoem) and they were married in 2007. They have since lived together on an acreage near Red Deer. Robin was known as an avid motorcyclist who owned, rode and even built motorcycles throughout his life. During his early working life in Europe, he had very fast motorcycles on which he would lean forward into the corners of the narrow highways of France and Spain. Later, as his stature increased, he leaned back and adopted the Harley Davidson as his vehicle of choice. He was well known and loved among the close-knit motorcycle community around Red Deer. <br> <br> <br>Robin was pre-deceased by his father, Peter and his sister, Vicki Lynn (Ben). He is survived by his mother, Gladys Margery of Calgary; his wife Shelley Deanne; and one granddaughter, Charlotte Marie Dyck; as well as his daughters, Hayley Anne Neufeld, Becky Hoem-McNall and her partner Colton Arvanitakis, Christie Hoem-McNall and her partner Ron Dyck. Also left to mourn his loss are his sister, Carmen Skyers (Aubry); his four brothers, Garry (Patricia), Timothy (Ju), Neil (Darlene) and Darryl; as well many nieces, nephews and his extended family of countless friends that held very special places in his life. <br> <br> <br>The Celebration of Robin’s Life will be held on Monday, May 23, 2016 at the Valley Centre Hall (Address: RR260 TWP380 east of Red Deer) at approximately 2 pm, where Shelley and Robin were married a little under 9 years ago, on what would have been his 60th birthday. <br> <br> <br>There will be a bike procession starting at the Gasoline Alley Harley Davidson which will travel to the hall with Robin’s urn carried by Grant Price, his longtime best friend. Please contact the Gasoline Alley Harley Shop for more details regarding the coordination and timing of the bike procession should you wish to be a part of Robin’s last ride. <br> <br> <br>In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Stars Air Ambulance, Robin’s favorite charity.</div>
