ROBERT JOUBERT Robert, 22, of Richer, Manitoba was tragically taken from his family on the morning of June 8, 2012 while travelling to work. He succumbed to injuries arising as a result of a motor vehicle accident caused by a suspected impaired driver. He was born in Winnipeg on August 1, 1989, the son of Daniel and Christine (Ironstand) Joubert, and older brother of Richard and Réjeanne. He attended Richer School and Ste. Anne Collegiate, and at the time of his passing, he was employed with Mulder Construction where he enjoyed working as a mill operator. Robert was an avid hockey fan who had played left wing with the La Broquerie Habs for many years. His backyard was the forest, and he had a profound love and respect for nature. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, and simply spending quality time with the people who were special to him. Robert had an infectious smile, and the twinkle in his eyes always gave him away when he was about to play a prank or tease his brother and sister. He was a gentle soul and to his family and close friends he was known as bear . His hugs were frequent and warm; his love was unconditional. Robert is also survived by his maternal grandmother Myriam (Wenden) Ironstand, and paternal grandparents, Léon and Gertrude (Tétrault) Joubert. He also leaves his uncles and aunts, Gilles (Elaine) Joubert, Claudette Joubert, Marc Joubert and Guy (Denise) Joubert; godfather Stephen Joubert; godmother Sandra Johnson; as well as numerous relatives and friends. Funeral services will be held on Friday, June 15, 2012 at St. Joachim Roman Catholic Church, 107, rue Principale, La Broquerie, Manitoba with Prayers at 6:30 p.m. and Funeral Mass at 7:00 p.m. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Birchwood Funeral Chapel of Steinbach, Manitoba. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to MADD Canada in memory of Robert Joubert.

Hey Rob. Just figured I’d pop in to show some love. I think about you often. Man, we had lots of fun. There’s only 1 memory of you that doesn’t bring a smile or laughter and that’s this one right here. Thanks for that. I wish you could have stayed longer buddy and I’ll never forget you - Posted by: Doug Benson (Friend) on: Aug 19, 2019

God Bless Us All You all are in our prayers. We Love You as Big as the Sky. Aunty Margo and Uncle Bernie I found this article on Dr. Buscaglia's website. It gives good advice for dealing with the death of a loved one, by remembering "They are not lost." Loving Through Death by Leo Buscaglia, Ph.D. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Though some day we all have to part with those we love, they are not lost. We are always better for having loved. In this way, love transcends even death. - Posted by: Aunty Margo and Uncle Bernie () on: Jun 18, 2012

I just learned tonight who was the victim of that horrible tragedy last week. Robert was my student back in grade 9 and then last year I was very happy to work with him at the adult ed. classes in Steinbach. He shared his dreams & plans - his love of hunting & his goal to work with heavy machinery. He was a gentle soul & should have had many more years. My sincere sympathy goes out to his family. - Posted by: Joan Chaput (teacher) on: Jun 13, 2012
