In Memory of Rob Van Vliet

By Trudy VAN VLIET

In memory of Rob Van Vliet

Welcome to our Forever in our Hearts tribute page. This page is a place for family and friends to share their memories of our wonderful husband and father, Rob Van Vliet, as well as to raise donations to support the Heart Foundation.

We are pleased to announce the running of our 2nd annual Rob Van Vliet TC Challenge heart foundation memorial walk at Robs little piece pf paradise in Neerim South.

Rob knew how to embrace the fun side of life without letting too much worry get in his way.  He worked hard and played hard!

Four-wheel-driving, fishing, boating, camping, turning busses into incredible motorhomes and every single thing he ever did- he gave it 110%! 

From sun up till sun down- he worked and kept himself busy! 

Its been a  tough 3 years without Rob physically in our life and we hope you can come along and be part of Robert John Van Vliet aka Springer, aka Roberto, aka Burtos, aka Burtos Maximus- a nickname he reacted badly too and therefore it stuck! But, more commonly he was known as Rob… 

A husband, a dad, a brother, an uncle, a boss and a mate…

The Heart Foundation funds life-changing research and programs for people with or at risk of heart disease, as well as their friends, families and communities. We are raising funds to support their work because we believe in a future free from heart disease.

We hope you’ll consider making a donation in honor of Rob’s life. Your gift will support heart disease research, treatment and education that provide hope for thousands of Australians.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you’ll get a receipt by email as soon as you make your donation 

Thank you for your support. 

Trudy, Mitchell, Jake, Harrison and Cooper
