In Loving Memory of Robert Rico Rivard (Panazzola)

February 21, 1978 – September 29, 2026

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Rob (Lou) Rivard on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, in London, Ontario.

Rob was a beloved partner, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, bonus dad, and close friend turned family member whose presence touched the lives of many.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his long term partner Lee Marie, his children Marie (Nicole), Ocean (Nicole), Layla (Nicki), and his bonus son Connor (Lee).

 As well as his older sister Krys, younger brothers Donnie and Darryn, and many extended family members, friends, and loved ones who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

Robert was predeceased by his mother, Anna Marie Panazolla; his father, Bobby Rivard; his bonus dad, Dave Roberts; and his half-brother, Abraham Rivard.Rob will be remembered for the loyalty, respect, love, protection, laughter, stories, and memories he gave to, not only his family, but also to all the people closest to him.

His sudden passing has left a profound emptiness in the lives of those who knew him that will no one will ever be able fill. He had a one of a kind, larger than life personality that was uniquely his own and will never be duplicated.

 Rob has been cremated, with a small private family ceremony.   A Celebration of Life for extended family and close friends will be held at a later date. Details will be shared with loved ones when arrangements have been finalized.

Forever loved, always missed, never forgotten. 

Taken far too soon. Until we meet again my love, I will hold you in my heart until I can hold you in Heaven.

 Fly high! You are finally at peace. L&R
