Passed away on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Chatham. Beloved husband of Sharon Jubenville (nee Oxley). Dear father of Corey (Vanessa) Jubenville and Julian (Maryam) Jubenville. Cherished grandfather of Louis Jubenville-Fazl. Predeceased by his parents, Alfred and Florida (nee Sterling) Jubenville, sister, Clara (Euclid) Martin and sister-in-law, Jackie Oxley. Survived by his brother-in-law, Charles Oxley, Keith (Ruth Ann) Oxley and sister-in-law, Gail Oxley. Leonard will be fondly remembered by his many, many nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, great great nieces, great great nephews and many cherished friends.
Leonard was a graduate of OCAD and The University of Windsor in Cultural Anthropolgy, a life-long interest. A most remarkably talented, unique and unapologetic artist, with galleries in Toronto, Montreal, Detroit, Hamilton and London, Leonard dedicated his life and career to the arts, contributing enormously to the Canadian art scene and, in particular, to his local arts community. He was also a gifted gardener, sharing his produce generously with family, friends, passersby and charitable organizations in Chatham, an inspired French and Art teacher, a fearsome theatre director and creatively inventive set designer. He was avidly interested in quantum physics, politics, opera, and business, always up for a rousing argument on all subjects. He was also a creative and inventive chef, hosting many challenging and interesting gatherings. A mentor and role model for many, he cherished his family, taking enormous pride in his sons, daughters-in-law and especially his adored grandson, Louis. He was truly one of a kind. “We shall not see his like again.”
A Celebration of Leonard’s life will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Kendrick Funeral Home, 4 Victoria Ave., Chatham. Donations in memory of Leonard may be made to Thames Art Gallery (Cheques payable to Municipality of Chatham-Kent – Thames Art Gallery – Artspace in memo line, 165 ½ King Street West, Chatham ON.
