JESUS LINGASIN ROBLES May 10, 1951 - October 29, 2016 Our dearest Jesus (Jess/Boy) Robles, beloved husband of Jemina Robles of Calgary, Alberta, peacefully passed away at Foothills Medical Centre in the ICU on October 29, 2016 at the age of 65 years. He was the loving father of Jemmie of Toronto, Joyce (Leon) and AJ of Calgary, Mark (Sharon) of Winnipeg. They will also be dearly missed by his grandchildren, Brandon, Jayla and Kira. He was a beloved brother to Dolores (Reynaldo deceased), Honoria (Arthur), Malvira (Tom), Roberto (Remedios), Sylvia (Samuel) and Rodolfo (Emilia). He was predeceased by his parents Alejandrina Lingasin and Domingo Robles. Born in Sampaloc, Manila, Jesus immigrated to Winnipeg, Canada on February 19, 1977. He had a career spanning 22 years with Unisys (formerly Borroughs). On October 27, 1999 he moved with his wife and two sons to Calgary, AB where he was employed with Nortel, Marlborough Mall and Stewart Stevenson. He was the Vice-President of the New Sunrise Seniors Club where he was loved and respected and frequently would gather with his friends at the nearby Marlborough Mall where he would fill his days with countless stories. He would frequent the casinos for entertainment and enjoyed many things like golf, tennis and especially fishing. He loved singing and would take any opportunity to show off his talents with the mic. He was passionate about cooking and sharing this love with family and friends. Jesus was always full of humor and was the best at telling stories of his childhood, but most of all Jesus was generous and would give the shirt off his back and his time to lend a hand with home renovations for many.
