Robert "Bob" Ivan Steeves

Robert worked with the Moncton Fire Department as a dedicated fireman for 25 years before his retirement. He was proud to have served his community and be able to help others when needed. He established Terry's Place restaurant in Hopewell Cape in memory of his son,Terry, who passed away due to a car accident in 1989. He liked socializing with family and friends and going for coffee in the early mornings with his "coffee buddies". After he retired from the Fire Department he drove trucks for Universal and East Coast International (Brentwood) as he always liked to keep busy. One of his favorite pastimes was driving - anywhere and everywhere - and especially through the back roads of his precious Albert County. His main priority in his life was his family and being a great husband, father and grampy. He was so proud of his daughter and grandsons and was always there to help when needed. He loved Mabel with all his heart and only wanted the best for her. We can take solace that he is now having a great reunion with those who have gone before him, especially his son Terry, his brothers, and his best friend, Norm Crossman.

 

He will be deeply missed by his wife, Mabel Steeves of Moncton; daughter, Cheryl Farquhar (Steeves) of Moncton; his treasured grandsons, Alex Farquhar and Jacob Farquhar. He will also be missed by several nieces, nephews, cousins, fellow firefighters and friends.

 

Besides his parents he was predeceased by his son, Terry Robert Steeves (1989); and brothers, Eldon and Elmer Steeves.

 

A Memorial Service will take place on Friday, January 17th, 2025 at the Albert County Funeral Home at 1:00pm with Pastor Paul Steeves officiating. The family will be meeting with relatives and friends for a time of visitation an hour prior to the service on Friday from 12:00pm-1:00pm. Interment will be in the Fair Haven Memorial Gardens, Moncton, NB.
