Robbie Guptill

With broken hearts, we share that my brother, Robbie Guptill, passed away on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at the age of 56.

Robbie was the friendliest person you could ever meet. He truly never met a person he didn’t like. Wherever he went, he brought kindness, generosity, and an easy smile that made people feel instantly at ease. To know Robbie was to be greeted with warmth, laughter, and genuine care. He had a rare gift for making everyone feel welcome, and the world feels quieter without him in it.

As his sister, I will forever cherish the memories we shared and the love he showed our family. Robbie was deeply loved by our father and stepmother, Buddy and Annette; by his sisters, Valerie and Tracey; and by his niece and nephews, Sara, Joe, Morgan, and Jordan. He was a proud and loving great uncle to Hudson and Theo, and to his great nieces Myia, Sadie, Lyla, Harper, and Kaia, all of whom brought him so much joy.

Robbie was predeceased by our beloved mother, Brenda Guptill; our grandparents, Albert and Helen McDormand. We take comfort in knowing he is reunited with them now.

My brother’s kindness, generosity, and constant smile will be missed beyond words. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched simply by being himself.

A Celebration of Robbie’s Life will be held later this summer in Nova Scotia, where we will gather to remember him, share stories, and honour a man who loved people with his whole heart.
