Mark David Robidoux, born Nov. 9, 1961, passed away suddenly in his home on Sunday, Oct. 14, 2018. Mark is survived by his wife Susan Gallego Robidoux, three sons Michael Medeiros, Daniel Robidoux and Patrick Robidoux and four beautiful daughters, Emily Robidoux, Krystie Medeiros wife of Michael, Gina Anderson Robidoux wife of Patrick and Ms. Leigh Cordeiro better half to Daniel Robidoux. Mark leaves behind two gorgeous grandchildren which were his true joy, Miss Bella Krystine Medeiros and Master Jackson George Medeiros. Mark is the son of Henry J. Robidoux, Jr, M.D. and the late Anne Marie (Daige) Robidoux. Gone too soon, Mark also leaves behind a brother, John Robidoux, and two sisters, Mary Kate Villacres and Ms. Peach Robidoux along with several nieces and nephews.

Mark taught art at Compass School for over a decade and was loved by his students and respected by his colleagues. He left the teaching profession to work for resources for human development as direct support staff to spread his gentle, unconditional acceptance and caring ways to several of his clients whom he truly loved, Mark, Mike, Caleb and Tess. Because there was always room in his heart for more, he sought out yet another addition to his "work family" in the wonderful Ms. Leah with whom he would shop, negotiate, cook and dine with on Monday, Tuesday and Friday evenings.

Mark loved his family and spending time with his adult children and grandchildren was always top priority. He loved all mediums of art, music and concepts of inclusion, respect and kindness. He loved his save-a-lab Phineas George Labidoux and the occasional Guinness. He enjoyed reading, writing Haiku, creating art from found objects and helping people in anyway possible. Mark's kind and gentle way immediately brought you into his fold where all who knew him were happily and warmly embraced. The impact of his passing is powerful on all who knew him and lucky now are the people who never had the pleasure for they are not feeling the pain we are all enduring at this time.

Peace to you Mark David Robidoux, you were loved by all who knew you. Love us. Calling hours were held on Friday Oct. 19, in the Smith-Mason Funeral Home 398 Willett Ave Riverside, RI 02915.
