It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert David Noseworthy of Kemptville, Ontario, on Friday, December 19, 2025, due to complications of chronic lung disease, surrounded by his children.
Robert was a proud and accomplished man with a strong sense of community who devoted much of his career to the development of Kemptville. Born and raised in Montreal, he began his career at Canadian Bank Note. He moved to Ottawa with his family in 1992, where he expanded his professional experience in the high-tech sector through his own company, as well as Telcom Training and Nortel Networks. A lifelong learner, Robert attended Queen’s University, Carleton University, and Athabasca University, where he earned a Master’s degree in Business Administration. Ultimately, his career led him into home building and as co-founder, owner and CEO of Westerra Homes, he played a central role in the construction of several communities, taking great pride in building distinctive, high-quality homes that helped shape the Kemptville community.
A kind and generous man of strong faith, Robert was deeply committed to giving back. He served as Chair for the Economic Development Committee for North Grenville, the North Grenville Home Builders Association, the Kemptville District Hospital and Habitat for Humanity, among many others. He volunteered hundreds of hours and supported countless charitable initiatives, leaving a lasting impact on the community he loved.
Family meant everything to Robert. He invested considerable time and care in ensuring that every person in his life felt loved and supported. He was immensely proud of his children and their accomplishments and cherished his role as “Poppa” to his grandchildren.
Robert is survived by his children, Julianne (Marc) Noseworthy of Montreal, QC, and David (Cheyanne) Noseworthy of Greely, ON; his beloved grandchildren, Everleigh, Ethan, and Claire; his former wife and mother of his children, Anne Daviault; and his siblings, Irene (Gilles) Noseworthy, Helen (Calvin) Tuitt, and Ron Noseworthy, along with their children and grandchildren. He was predeceased by his mother, Gabrielle Dulude, and his stepfather, Patricien Vézina, of Montreal, QC.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of the Kemptville District Hospital, the Beth Donovan Hospice, and especially Dr. Zakhem, for her compassion, kindness, exceptional care, and for helping ensure Robert’s final wishes were honoured.
A Celebration of Life service and reception will be held on January 30, 2026, at 2:00 pm at St. John’s United Church in Kemptville, ON. Family flowers only. Memorial donations may be made in Robert’s name to the Beth Donovan Hospice.
Robert’s impact will be felt for generations through the communities he’s built and the lives he’s touched.
