It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Robert Ian LeNoury on April 16, 2020. Fierce friend and devoted family man, Rob leaves behind his beloved wife, Katrina (Lineen) and the light of his life, son Michael. He is survived by his parents, Ray and Barb LeNoury, and his brother Rick (Dee) LeNoury of Victoria. Rob is predeceased by his sister Kim (Paul) Madsen. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews. Rob was born in Kano, Nigeria on June 27, 1961 but grew up in Victoria. He attended Saint Michael’s University School where he developed many life-long friendships. Rob obtained his Biochemistry degree at the University of Victoria and then a Recreation Facilities Management diploma at Langara College. Rob met fellow varsity athlete, Katrina while at University and they were married on June 19, 1993 in Victoria. After a short while in Coquitlam, they moved to Campbell River and then Comox during which time Rob worked for 11 years as a Recreation Director at the Lakeview Youth Custody Center. In 2003, they moved to Vernon and shortly thereafter Rob began his 14-year career with North Okanagan Youth & Family Services Society (NOYFSS). He used his own blend of humour, truth and life experiences to assist many of our vulnerable community members. Rob was passionate about all sports as a player, fan and father. Rob loved nothing more than to watch his son compete and was willing to drive anywhere to watch. He loved socializing and genuinely cared about other’s lives and opinions! Great friendships and many memories were created at Storey Creek GC, Comox GC, Rosters, Spallumcheen GC, ice hockey rinks and in the ‘Cul-de-Sac’. Rob loved a good debate but will more likely be remembered for his kind, gentle and loyal spirit. Rob will be missed by many…he was an irreplaceable friend, loving husband and devoted father. A celebration worthy of Rob’s life is being planned for a future date.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Robert Ian Le Noury April 16th 2020..
