Jean Cabut Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 8, 2015.
Jean Cabut, 76, widely known as Cabu, established himself as one of France's best-known cartoonists over a career that spanned 60 years.

He served in the French military during the Algerian war for independence in the late 1950s, and later drew cartoons for several publications. Among them was Hara-Kiri, a satirical magazine that emerged in the '60s and was considered a forerunner of Charlie Hebdo.

One of Cabut's recurring characters was the Grande Duduche, a skinny, blond schoolboy bearing some resemblance to Cabut himself.

Cabut's son, Mano Solo, a prominent singer and composer, died in 2010 at age 46.

I am so sorry for the loss of Jean. May the family, friends and co-workers find comfort in knowing that God cares for each of us and he knows our pain; however, He has promised through his kingdom that He will soon end the suffering of each individual. (Matthew 6: 9, 10)

This world is not the way our Creator intended. It doesn't reflect
His quality of love, justice, power and wisdom. Soon He promises
to make all things new where death and violence will no longer be.
(Psalms 37:9-11)

My deepest deepest sympathy to the family and everyone who knew Jean and his contribution to society. God is our shepherd. How wise and loving is he. Jean is alive in his memory and he will call "Jean" and Jean will certainly answer to the call, so will his colleagues and what a wonderful time of rejoicing that will be. God cannot lie.

The scriptures state that not one sparrow falls to the ground without the Father's knowledge and reassures us not to fear for we are worth more than many sparrows to him. May these words of comfort soothe the pain in your heart and help fill the void left by this cruel act. You are in our prayers.
