Rob’s passing was unexpected, but he passed peacefully in his sleep at his family’s home on Sunday, May 18, 2025 at the age of 54. Beloved husband of Jennifer (Lees) Vogel for 27 years, and together for 31. Cherished father of Justin Vogel, and Jaden Vogel. Devoted son of Gladys Vogel. Treasured brother of Becky Vogel. Adored Uncle of Kayla Vogel, and Brandon Vogel. Predeceased by his father Harry Vogel and his aunt Wendy Melanson. Dear nephew of Sandy and Al Gilbert, Becky Chabassol, and Cheryl McLeod. Fondly remembered by his many cousins.
Rob was an amazing friend to so many people and his presence was larger than life. To know him was to love him. Rob was so full of love and laughter, if you were in the same room as him you were guaranteed to be smiling and laughing. His loyalty and devotion were second to none. Rob loved many things in life but most of all he loved his family with all of his being. He found Jen and it was as if they were destined to be together. They had the type of marriage that transcended love. Mere words can not express how much Rob will be missed.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held for both Rob and his dad Harry at Lot 140 in Birch Bark Trailer Park, DASHWOOD on Saturday, June 21st from 1 – 4 PM. In the event of inclement weather, the celebration will be held in the hall at the front of the park.
Donations to Huron Hospice in memory of his dad, Harry, would be appreciated by the family.

My deepest condolences, Jen, Jade and Justin. I remember when we first went to fanshawe Park Jen’s words were oh God. I hope they’re not friendly and I hope they don’t have dogs and Rob was an amazing person. He scared the heck out of my husband Shawn sure, he was a great big teddy bear. So full of love. So full of laughter, singing karaoke with them drinking and just having fun. Love you, Rob
