Robin Campbell Mann was born on February 19, 1969 in Port Alberni BC. He was welcomed into the family of Phaedra and Walton Campbell when he was 10 weeks old and blessed the lives of the Campbell family until his passing on May 8, 2020 at the age of 51. Robin slipped away peacefully and serenely surrounded by loved ones. Robin's legacy lives on in the lives of everyone who had the good fortune of knowing this wonderful soul.
Robin was predeceased by his parents, Walton and Phaedra Campbell and brother-in-law Jose Lopez and sister-in-law Lori Campbell. Robin is survived by his 5 siblings: Tim (Marilee) Campbell (Glenwood), Alison (Ken) Bly (Warner), Lindsay (Troy) Anderson(Taber) Christabel Rebman (Ohio), Joel (Wendy) Campbell (Medicine Hat) and by numerous nieces and nephews.
Some of us might sail through life only being known and loved by a handful of people. Maybe by choice. Maybe not. Robin led no ordinary life. His life had great meaning and purpose. Robin was completely unaware of his tremendous influence but the ripple effect of his life will continue into the eternities spreading kindness, compassion, understanding and love.
Robin grew up in the beautiful Creston Valley, moving to Taber in his early 20's where he became involved with Taber Special Needs and their employment and residential support program. The family has an enormous amount of gratitude for the many resources that were made available over the years but most of all they express love and appreciation to those who were more than just 'staff'. They sang to Robin, danced with Robin, joked with Robin, walked with (or chased) Robin and made it their daily goal to see him smile and feel loved and cared for. These people are our heros.
