Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On June 29, 2026 @ 11:59 AM In Exeter, Obituary | 73 Comments
Peacefully at Jessica’s House, Exeter with family by his side on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at the age of 71. Beloved husband of the late Valerie (McCann) Rohde for over 29 years. Cherished father of Sonya Lawrence (Wayne Martin), and Cheyenne Mosurinjohn. Proud grandpa of Justin Martin, Damien Willert, and Vivian Willert. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Doug and Judy Rohde, Glenn and Marilyn Rohde. Fondly remembered by the McCann family and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Bill and Rhoda (Thomson) Rohde.
Calvin was a proud owner operator for 43 years. He was a dedicated Mack man his whole career. He hauled packaged salt out of Goderich. He worked for Laidlaw transport from 78 – 91 and from 91 – 2021, he worked for Jim Scott Enterprises. When he wasn’t working, he could be found cruising around in his 2005 Mustang GT, a beautiful car he treated himself to for his 50th birthday.
Keeping with Calvin’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Donations to Jessica’s House would be appreciated by the family.

I remember way back when we were employed at Bendix Home Systems so many years ago.
Calvin was not employed there for very long ,but made a positive impression on everyone he worked with. Many years after he and his wife purchased a property north of Zurich maybe a half a mile from my house we ,reconnected and shared some small talk . Whenever he drove by he always had a smile a wave and a toot of the horn ,no matter if it was his cherished
Mustang GT or his spotless Ford F-150 Pickup Truck
Rest peacefully Calvin.💔
Sending much love to the family. RIP Calvin. You are at peace with Val.

Heard at suppertime tonight when I was at Compass Minerals in Goderich of Calvin’s passing. It was hard to hear. Tried to call him in the last while to get caught up on trucker gossip like him and I would while waiting to get loaded or on the phone. We told stories … told some memories …. shared in a laugh or two… and sometimes a tissue or two. I enjoyed seeing him there. I recall one Friday he had just got loaded, and said “Tom, I can’t talk long. Friday night is pizza night with the wife.” I shared a couple of home made cookies for him to take for desert. “I shouldn’t have those… but I guess if I break them first then the sugar will fall out of them”. And he was on his way with that wonderful smile he had. I missed him since he retired and tonight as well. RIP Calvin. God was looking for a Mack driver. Glad you went.
Sorry to hear of Calvin’s passing. He was such a sweet man that I had the pleasure of knowing. My deepest condolences to his family
