It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rob Andrea, 26, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, surrounded by his loving family and friends. Rob’s faith and trust in God has been an inspiration to us all and we rejoice that he is with his beloved Saviour.
Born in Sydney, he was the son of Cameron and Rachel (Veinott) Andrea.
He had a passion for ministry, influencing and teaching others, even through his illness. Through his time at Cape Breton Bible Camp and his vision for Christian community, he has shown us what faith in Jesus really is.
Rob is survived by his wife, Joleen (Williams) Andrea; two sons, Gideon and Benaiah; and siblings, David (Kelley) and Laura.
Rob was predeceased by his brother, Jonathan Dean, grandmother, Cecilia Andrea, grandfather, Dean Veinott, and uncle, Paul Veinotte.
