Robert Steven Hafso

It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Robert Steven Hafso passed away April 26, 2023.

Bob leaves many to survive him, including his parents, Darryl and Frances (Bird) Hafso; son, Steven Hafso (Chelsea Cnossen); daughter, Brianne Hafso (Philip Prysiazny); grandchildren, Brooklyn, Roman, Dominic, Lily, and Adelline-Dawn.

He also leaves to cherish his memory his older brothers, Darryl (Koreen) Hafso, Jason (Adele) Hafso, and a younger sister, Melissa Hafso; numerous nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles and their families.

Bob was predeceased by grandparents, John & Viola (Cabana) Bird, Norman & Florence (Sangster) Hafso; Uncle Ken Bird, Uncle Lloyd Bird; Lloyd’s wife, Angeline (Sauers) and their children, Justin and Danielle Bird; aunt, Laura (Cindy) Bird.

Bob was born June 7, 1971, in Medicine Hat, Alberta. In his younger years, he loved motorcycling, stock car racing, and snowmobiling. As he grew older, he worked on the oil rigs, working from Medicine Hat to Mexico, advancing to Rig Manager entailing leadership of many. He was very much a free spirit and lived his life to the fullest.

Bob and Loreli Polachic had their son, Steven, born in 1989, later married in 2002, and then Bob adopted Loreli’s daughter, Brianne. Bob will be missed for his beautiful blue eyes, his strength, his everlasting passion for leadership, and his outward denial that things have to be done a certain way. His feisty but caring attitude will always be remembered.

A celebration of life for family and close friends will be held Saturday June 10, 2023, 12pm-4pm at the Hamptons Inn & Suites, 2510 Box Springs Blvd, Medicine Hat, AB T1C 0C8. Condolences may be made at www.gracememorial.com.
