Robert Leibham Obituary

Visit the Cochrane Country Funeral Home (Cochrane Funeral Service Inc.) website to view the full obituary.

Born and raised in Alberta, a son of the prairies and the mountain winds, he was a man who met every hardship with grit, humor, and an unbreakable will. He was a man who valued honesty, hard work, and the small joys that make life meaningful. For over a decade, he worked in house painting alongside his father, transforming spaces for families and prided himself in his work.

Robert loved the peace of country living — open skies, quiet roads, and the steady rhythm of nature around him. Music was his heartbeat; he had a lifelong passion for electronic music, hard trance, jungle, and house, and he could lose himself for hours in sound. He was also a gamer through and through, finding adventure and connection through his PS4, Steam Deck, and the virtual worlds he explored with curiosity and joy.

Those who knew Robert will remember his laugh, his honesty, always straight to the point, even tenacious. Life handed him challenges — including health struggles — but he met them with courage and determination. He never stopped learning, reflecting, and finding new ways to grow, even when the road was rough.

He is survived by his loving parents, who stood by him through every chapter, his older sister Summer, and younger brothers Rodney and Kevin, and by the countless memories he left with those who knew him.

There are those souls whose courage does not roar — it hums like distant stars, steady and eternal. His body has gone to rest, but his energy remains.
