Robert Van Bibber, born June 2, 1971, in Yukon, Canada, peacefully passed away on September 19, 2025. A devoted spouse, loving stepfather, proud grandfather, and cherished brother, Robert’s life was marked by kindness, hard work, and a generous spirit.

Preceded in death by his parents, Daniel Van Bibber and Eileen McDonald Van Bibber, and his stepson Nicholas Jacques of Kenedy, Texas, Robert leaves behind a close-knit family who will forever hold his memory dear.

He is survived by his beloved spouse, Jackie Jacques of Kenedy, stepchildren Jestine and Autumn Hinojosa of Kenedy, and his grandchildren Nicole, Estevan, and Zavien, who were the light of his life. Robert also leaves behind his brother, Abraham Daniel Van Bibber, along with many nieces and nephews who fondly remember his warmth and guidance.

Robert spent many years as a dedicated truck driver, traveling far and wide, embracing the road and the adventures it brought. He found joy in camping, fishing, and crafting delicious barbecue that brought family and friends together. Always ready to lend a hand, Robert’s mechanical skills and willingness to fix things made him a trusted helper and friend in his community.

Having moved to Kenedy in 2007, Robert built a life rooted in love, generosity, and a deep connection to those around him. His spirit of selflessness, his hearty laugh, and his steady presence will be profoundly missed.

Robert Van Bibber’s legacy is one of love, strength, and unwavering support—a memory that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Visitation will be held Thursday, September 25, 2025 from 1PM to 6PM with a Prayer Service starting at 6PM in the Eckols Funeral Chapel with Pastor Trent Enriquez, Pastor Zeke Casarez and Associate Pastor Julian Tovar officiating.
