Lynn Tear et à la famille
Que Dieu notre Sauveur vous entoure de son amour dans ces moments de tristesse.
May my support
warm your heart
Robin Lapointe
July 21, 1965 – June 4, 2024
Robin passed away due to kidney failure on June 4, 2024 at the age of 58.
He leaves to mourn his wife Lynn Tear and son Pierre-Elliot. Son of the late Réjean Lapointe, Robin also leaves to mourn his mother Monique Létourneau, brothers and sisters (and partners) – Pierre, Sylvain, Manon, Marco, Martine, Eric, and many uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews. He leaves to mourn all of his ‘out-law’ family – as he so teasingly called them. Robin will be missed by many friends across Canada and the USA. To name each family and friend would fill a book.
He was deeply sensitive, intuitive, resourceful, efficient, punctual, protective, expressive and authentic. He did not ‘fit the box’ and made no apologies for it. He was poignant, funny, fearless and courageous. We all loved his fancy chocolates and pastries, pizza and bread from his home-made pizza oven, homemade brooms, etc. He spent time in the Canadian Navy and Coast guard, become a long-haul trucker, studied and worked in plumbing and accounting. He will also be remembered for building his own covered wagon (camper) and his team of mules, his Summer Camp cooking and most recently bingo calling at the Manoir St-Francis. Life sure was an adventure.
He’ll be remembered for his amazing storytelling, outstanding cooking and incredible love for people. He held his possessions and time with an open hand and would ‘give the shirt off his back’ many times over. His faith in the Lord changed his life, encouraged and inspired many.
There will be a celebration of life at Hope Community Church (102 Queen St, Sherbrooke) on June 23rd (Sunday) at 2pm. The family will attend a private burial at a later date.
