Robb Olexin

Published

It was a bittersweet day In Minnesota as I said my goodbyes to the incredible Robbie O. Beginning with a powerful 90 minutes at Becker Arena Products, Robb’s work home for many years. Robbie O stories were recounted and tears shed. I then headed to Robb’s home to be greeted by his beloved son (Taltson) and lifelong dear friends (Robert and Heather) as my buddy patiently waited for me upstairs. Although Robb is weak and the simplest of tasks difficult, a smile instantly appeared across his face as I made my way over to him. Conversation was arduous, but that didn’t keep us from enjoying the moment. Robb has accomplished many things in his lifetime, but perhaps the greatest is the raising of Taltson into a tremendous young man, truly a chip of the old block. As we headed out,Taltson thanked us and we snapped a picture, one I will cherish forever and think of my friend every time I see it.
Cheers to you Robbie O, your work is done. And you did one helluva job. ❤️

An Unwelcome Diagnosis

Robb Olexin, a longtime supporter of DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation and a pillar in the hockey community, was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and is fortunate to be receiving the best care possible through the Mayo Clinic, only an hour away from his home. Robb is currently on a leave of absence from work at Becker Arena Products. His benefits are assisting with his medical costs; however, the long-term impact will require financial assistance. While the long-term outlook is unknown, we all know that Robb is a fighter and let’s show him he is not alone. Please join us in this private fundraising opportunity to assist with his long-term medical expenses and some of the cost for his family and close friends, both near and far, to visit and assist with his care.

Part of the Becker Family

Robb is a special person at Becker Arena Products in terms of his personal approach outside of the daily business grind. He is a person who places others before himself and does not like to draw attention to himself. He is often volunteering his time to work with organizations and with people who are in need and less fortunate. Robb is a very giving person who does not want to let people down.

Part of the DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation Family

Robb and Becker Arena Products have been working with DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation for years in planning a potential ice arena designed for everyone. Robb has been involved in the project and donated many hours of his personal time as well his heart and soul to the Foundation as a true supporter. Robb is a close friend of the entire DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation Team and is an incredible ambassador of the organization. He never hesitates to offer his assistance in any way, like when he flew out to Colorado for the DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation Winter Classic Pond Hockey Tournament presented by DREP. The tournament needed a seasoned Zamboni driver and Robb was on a plane to save the day, helping to make the event a rousing success.
