À la mémoire de
Keith Percival Harold Vibert
23 mai 1932 – 26 décembre 2022 - 90 ans
Keith Percival Harold Vibert
(May 23, 1932 – December 26, 2022)

“… stopping here
to watch [the] woods fill up with snow.”
— Robert Frost

Peacefully with family by his side, generous, selfless and beloved Keith boarded the train for Heaven at 90 years young. He is predeceased by his parents Wilfred Vibert and Eva Bechervaise and his wife Mary Jensen. An ever-doting father, he is survived by his loving children Donald, Steve (Alice) and Tanya (Bruno) and his beautiful grandchildren Brayden and Emily, all of whom were his pride and joy. Over the years, siblings—Wilma, Kathleen, Weston (Joyce), Stan (Lise)—in-laws—Fredrick, Robert, Dorothy (Garold), Barbara (Frank), Betty (Brian), Katheryn (Paul), Karen (Kent)—many nephews and nieces, and countless friends, appreciated Keith’s caring, supportiveness, and quick-witted humour.
Along with his commitment to family, Keith made time to give back as an Anglican church warden and a school board commissioner for what is now the Eastern Shores School Board. An outdoorsman who enjoyed cross-country skiing and walks in the woods with his dog, be they filling up with snow in the winter or teeming with life in the spring, summer and fall, Keith maintained a love of travelling to visit family that mirrored his time working for CN Rail and VIA Rail. After his retirement, friends and neighbours knew that Spring had arrived when Keith and his welcoming smile, and a friendly wave, could be seen sitting on his veranda.

A service and Celebration of Life to be held in Gaspé at a future date to be determined.

¬There is a new storyteller in the lounge car of the train. There are some familiar faces and new friends gathering around the consummate gentleman with the smirk on his face and a glimmer in his eye. There is love all around, and out the window, twilight is fading on the kind of night that would fill the woods with snow.
Enjoy your well-earned rest, Dad, and keep’em laughing. xoxo.

«... s'arrêtant ici
pour regarder (les) bois se remplir de neige.»
Robert Frost

Paisiblement, entouré de sa famille, le généreux, dévoué et très apprécié Keith s'est embarqué dans le train en route pour le paradis à l'âge de 90 ans.

Il est prédécédé par ses parents Wilfrid Vibert et Eva Bechervaise et son épouse Mary Jensen.

Un père toujours passionné, il laisse dans le deuil ses adorables enfants Donald, Steve (Alice) et Tanya (Bruno) et ses merveilleux petits-enfants Brayden et Emily qui ont tous été sa fierté et sa joie. Au fil des années, ses frères et soeurs Wilma, Kathleen, Weston (Joyce), Stan (Lise), sa belle-famille Fredrick, Robert, Dorothy (Garold), Barbara (Frank), Betty (Brian), Katheryn (Paul), Karen (Kent), plusieurs neveux, nièces et d'innombrables amis ont apprécié sa bienveillance, son soutien et son humour vif.

En plus de son engagement envers sa famille, Keith a donné beaucoup de son temps comme marguillier pour l'église Anglicane et comme commissaire pour la commission scolaire "Eastern Shores School Board". Un amateur de plein air qui aimait le ski de fond et les randonnées en forêt avec son chien, qu'elle soit remplie de neige ou qu'elle regorge de vie au printemps, en été et à l'automne. À l'époque quand il travaillait pour CN Rail et Via Rail, Keith aimait voyager pour rendre visite à sa famille. À sa retraite, les amis et les voisins savaient que le printemps était arrivé quand Keith, son sourire accueillant et un signe amical de la main, pouvait être aperçu assis sur la galerie.

Les condoléances et une célébration de la vie auront lieu à Gaspé à une date ultérieure.

Il y a un nouveau conteur dans la voiture-salon du train. Il y a des visages famil9iers et des nouveaux amis autour du gentleman accompli avec un sourire en coin et une lueur dans les yeux. Il y a de l'amour tout autour et, par la fenêtre, le crépuscule s'estompe dans le genre de nuit qui remplit la forêt de neige.

Profite de ton repos bien mérité, Papa, et continue de les faire rire. xoxo
