On Thursday M.P. Brian Masse read the following statement in Parliament about Walkerville teacher Rob Baxter who passed away during March Break from a brain aneurysm at the age of 37.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to acknowledge the life and contributions of Rob Baxter.

Mr. Baxter was a popular teacher at Walkerville High School, who died at the age of 37 of a brain aneurysm this past March. Rob made such a positive impact on our community due to his overall optimism, positivity, and uniqueness. At Walkerville, he took the time to know his students. Whether as teacher rep to student council, working in drama productions, or just simply sitting down to lunch, Rob touched everyone he met.

Kara Kristof, prime minister of Walkerville’s student council, captured the magnitude of Mr. Baxter’s passing best when she said, “The loss of our mentor, our friend, our amazing librarian, the most spirited teacher and most importantly, the man who brought sunshine and smiles to everyone in the school, will have an impact on everyone.”

On behalf of my community, I would like to offer the Baxter family our deepest condolences. Rob will be sorely missed, but his legacy will continue to inspire.
