Bob Probert Obituary
"Bob lost the fight of his life this afternoon," said Probert's father-in-law, Dan Parkinson, a police officer who performed CPR before Probert was rushed to Ontario's Windsor Regional Medical Center.
Probert was on a boat in Lake St. Clair with his wife, children and in-laws when he "developed severe chest pains" Monday, family friend Rich Rogow told a Monday evening news conference at the medical center.
"This is a tragedy for the family," Parkinson said. "We ask that you respect their privacy at this time."
Probert, who struggled to overcome drinking problems during his time in the NHL, played for the Red Wings in 1985-1994 and for the Blackhawks in 1995-2002.
"Bob was a part of our very first NHL Draft class that also included Steve Yzerman, Joe Kocur, Petr Klima and Stu Grimson," Red Wings owners Mike and Marian Ilitch said in a statement. "Bob was always there for his teammates and was one of the toughest men to ever play in the NHL.
"He also was one of the kindest, most colorful, and beloved players Detroit has ever known."
Blackhawks president John McDonough said the organziation's "thoughts and prayers are with the entire Probert family."
"Bob will always be a member of the Blackhawks family and his memory will live on through our fans," McDonough said in a statement.
The Windsor native had 384 points (163 goals, 221 assists) in 935 career regular-season games with Detroit and Chicago. His 3,300 career penalty minutes rank sixth in NHL history.
"Bob was a guy that started as a strictly tough guy but made himself a player," former Toronto maple Leafs enforcer Wendel Clark told Canadian Press. "Off the ice, everything was a whole different story. He was one of the good guys and he'd do anything for anybody."
Probert was charged several times with driving under the influence while playing for Detroit. He also was caught trying to carry cocaine from Canada into the U.S. in 1989 and served a six-month federal prison sentence.
The Blackhawks honored Probert with a Bob Probert Heritage Night on Feb. 22, 2009, at the United Center, and he dropped the ceremonial puck before Game 3 of the 2009 Western Conference Final between Detroit and Chicago.
No funeral arrangements were immediately made. Probert is survived by his wife and four children.

I remember what date and where I met Bob and Tammy Probert. June 10 1994 at Erin Mills Town Center in Mississauga, Ontario. I was with my girlfriend and our friend was dating Tammys cousin at the time. He ran up to us and said Probert is in the Mall! I ran into Bob and Tammy by the food court. I told em hes awesome and to stop picking on Wendel.lol This night is vivid and I remembered it because that was the night my girlfriend and I were going to the premier of movie Speed. And Tammy and Bob were also going. Probert was such a nice dude. Glad a met him if only for a brief encounter. R.I.P. Bob

I never met Bob, but I was a huge fan who lived 10 minutes away. Sometimes I'd see him driving on Riverside. Probert was the best fighter in the NHL, ever. He was amazing. My brothers and exes made me watch hockey but when Bob was on the ice I loved it. The whole arena came alive. He made the game fun & exciting to watch. He's been gone now 7 years and he's still loved and remembered. I pray for Dani and their kids. I hope they are well. RIP #24, just goes to show GOD ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST! Gone too soon but will NEVER be forgotten.

My condolences to the Probert family from across the big pond.
Although I never had the pleasure to actually meet Bob Probert, he still used to be "part of my life".
As a kid I caught a short report about NHL hockey on TV and part of that report was the legendary Red Wings #24. This got me hooked forever after and there was some sort of bond between Bob and me, although we've never met.
There was something special in him and despite of his role on the ice, I always thought there was alot of kindness and thoughtfulness in his eyes.
The news of his passing away hit me really, really hard.
Thanks for the memories, Probie, you'll never be forgotten.

I will never forget when I met Bob Probert, He would walk into the room and everyone stopped and said, thats the guy.. next thing I knew everyone was talking about him.. and tickets started to sell! the year was 1987.. and the wings went from the dead wings to the wow wings.. Bob Probert and Joey Kocur (bruise borthers) with Steve Yzerman and that's all it took.. they don't get the credit they deserve. cause I maybe knew a handful of people who were interested in hockey and the next thing you know everyone was! Bob and I and some of the other wings became good friends and the memories I have with him flying down the river in his brand new boat freezing half death was probably one of my favorite memories along with some others but I will keep those to myself...You will be one of my best friends and thanks for all the memories (I still owe ya lol) You will be missed! Now it's time to start the chant PROBIE! PROBIE! and get that 24 Karrot number retired.. When I leave Iraq and buy my boat it will be called 24 Karrot in your honor with Bugs Bunny wearing your jersey eating a karrot (carrot) your friend still, Clay (Dawg) Irwin .. Bob gave me that nickname and still to this day my firends call me that!! Even our B-day is on the same day, peace from the middle east Robert!

Seven days have passed, and as I sit and read all of the sympathy notes, I remembered all of the good times growing up with Bob. We first became friends in Grade 1 and grew up getting into the typical trouble kids get into. Often, we would watch the Dukes of Hazard in his basement and go swimming at my parents‘, play pool at his neighbours’ and play pick up every Sunday morning at the now-gone Lakeshore double pad arena. He was in my dad’s car when I got my first speeding ticket, and I vividly remember us waking up his dad to see if he could “take care of the ticket” only for him to call my dad at two in the morning to let him know what had just happened. We did a lot together from school science projects, hanging in the mall, fishing, bicycling, playing street hockey to sneaking into a local bar with charcoal drawn moustaches to make us look of age.
I remember one day fooling around at our grade school when we were not suppose to be there and me winding up with 14 stitches in my forehead because Bob slammed the steel door on me. In early high school, we worked at a local McDonald’s Restaurant and I clearly remember us opening the store one morning, and when the manager pulled up, he saw about 25 helium-filled garbage bags floating from the back door. Not a pretty sight.
I have many stories, but when Bob made it to the NHL, he never changed. He remained the same easygoing person most of the sympathy cards talk about. No matter what the press would say, he would never turn down a favour or an opportunity to make a kid’s day by signing something. This is the Bob we need to remember, cherish and love.
I think Bob matured a lot when he married Dani. My family and I were at the wedding and thought it had to be the most beautiful event we had ever been to. I have included a picture to show how beautiful a couple they were. Sadly, when I heard of his passing, I was in Chicago and had to fly home to attend both the wake and funeral. Something that I still cannot get over. I cried, hugging his mother, wishing to go back in time to simpler days.
My sympathy and condolences go to Dani, the kids, Norm, and his mom, Teresa. I love you all and will never forget the smile and the laugh from the man I call friend. God bless you, Bob, and as your daughter said, Heaven will never be the same.

Being in my high school years while Mr. Probert was in the heyday of his career, I can honestly say a good 20% of the jerseys my friends and I used to wear playing street hockey was his.
Whenever a mock fight would break out, or a real one, we would all yell Probert, Probert... he was an icon then, and an icon forever. One of 'my' top 25 favourite/most memorable players of all time.

Seeing Bob pull up on his Harley to Johnny Shotz was always sort of inspiring , knowing that THE "Bob Probert" was there to relax just like the rest of us .I feel for the children he left behind and his wife who are never going to know that good feeling again , but Bobby left them with a great Legacy that they can all move forward with to make life a little easier . God gives us blessings and takes them away as he sees fit , thank God for the Blessing of Bob Probert we were able to share . Rest Well Bob .

I've been watching hockey since I was old enough to make sounds and I always remember looking forward to seeing Detroit play Toronto when I was growing up because I knew it generally meant a showdown with Probert and Clark. Probert had class, he had skill, he was tough and as i'm finding out he was a family man. Anyone who can overcome the issues that he did, the way he did deserves every ounce of respect anyone can offer. R.I.P. and you will clearly never be Forgotten.

To the entire Probert family I want to send my condolences for the passing of Bob. In 1985 I attended a Wings game early. I was walking around The Joe when Bob was skating. He said "hey here" and he flipped me a puck. Then I met him at a pick up hockey game and my brother knew him Centennial Secondary School. The last time I saw him was at Spitfire Playoff Game and I remember giving him hell for wearing a Blackhawk Jersey during the hounary faceoff during the 2009 playoffs. We laughed. My point being is that Bobby was approachable when in public and never cocky. He was a down-to-earn human being and one hell of a Red Wing. God Bless you Bobby and all of your family friends.

ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY NEPHEWS TOUR OF DUTY IN AFGHANISTAN WAS MEETING BOB. HE LIFTED THE SPIRITS OF THE TROOPS AND THE SOLDIERS REALLY APPRECIATED HIM BEING THERE. WHEN MY NEPHEW CAME HOME FROM THE WAR WE HAD A BIG PARTY FOR HIM. I CALLED BOB AND HE WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO NOT ONLY COME TO THE PARTY BUT SPEND THE AFTERNOON WITH EVERYONE. THAT WAS THE KIND OF GUY HE WAS. DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS WIFE AND KIDS.

La perte d'un être cher est cruelle et inhumaine ! Mais heureusement Dieu nous promet de rétablir un monde meilleur : " Oui, il engloutira la mort pour toujours ; oui, Dieu essuiera les larmes de dessus tous les visages . Et l'opprobe de son peuple , il l'ôtera de dessus toute la terre , car Dieu lui-même l'a dit " .
Bientôt Dieu remettra les choses en ordre et Bob a la possibilité de revenir à la vie , c'est une des nombreuses promesse de Dieu .
Bob est dans la mémoire de Dieu et vous , sa famiile , vous avez cette belle espérance qui vous soulage !
Vous avez toute ma sympathie et ma compassion .

I met Probie a couple of times and he was a really nice, down to earth guy. The one time I remember the most was when I went to get an autograph and he saw that I had the Red Wing emblem painted on my nails. He grabbed my hand and started showing everyone and saying how cool it was. My smile was huge and so was his in my picture of him. I feel so bad for his family and want to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I cry alongside you and everyone else who loved Bob. God Bless You All.
