Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryBLAIR STEVEN ROBILLARD
Blair passed away too soon but he has gone to join his beloved paternal and maternal grandparents and Aunty Flo. He leaves behind his dad, Ron, mother, Grace, brothers, Craig (Deb) and Wade (Susan), daughters, Adrea, Sacha, Kassin (Chad), and Genevieve (Branden), and the grandchildren who filled his heart with joy: Sophia, Grayson, Lily, and Sam.
As a young man, Blair found a great love and respect for Aboriginal peoples. He worked very hard all his life to promote both their teachings and an understanding. He taught Aboriginal games all over Manitoba, wrote the book “Playing with Great Heart,” and was given the Innovation in Teaching award from the University of Manitoba.
Blair loved the people unconditionally and with gusto. He was a true servant of the people - an ogichidaa (warrior) and oscaabaywis (helper). He was a Sundancer and a kind, gentle teacher.
To all the wonderful people who visited and called him while he was being looked after by the unbelievably kind people at the Selkirk Regional Hospital: THANK YOU! MIGWECH!
No formal funeral will be held, a Chibi ceremony has been held to send him on his journey.
Northstar Man: He returns to the stars, guiding the way for us from above

What an honor to know your Dad. He spoke from his gigantic heart and soul. I wish I would have know he was on palliative care so I could have visited him one More time, to tell him I cared about him and his messages. It would be great to touch base with one of his daughters (sorry one worked at one insurance and I can’t remember your name) and connect about Blair. You were all very fortunate to have him in your life as was I and man, many others! - Posted by: Darla Armstrong (I hope he would consider me a friend ) on: Nov 02, 2024
