Jacques Christopher Robert

Jacques Christopher Robert, age 41, of Tomball, Texas, entered eternal life on Sunday, March 22, 2026. He was a devoted husband to Theresa Escude’ Robert and loving father to his four children: Elise Carol, Lucy Michelle, Landry Marie and Jacques Mathieu.

Jacques is survived by his parents, Don and Mikki Robert of Gonzales; his sisters, Michelle Savoy (Brian) of Gonzales and Amanda Kirby (Ryan) of Shreveport; his in-laws, David and Caroline Escude’ and sister-in-law, Christina Escude’ Thornton (Robb Reech) all of Baton Rouge, and precious nieces and nephews, Laura Falcon (Lonnie), Brady Savoy (Allye) and Seth Savoy (Kayla), Aidan, Andrew, Adam, and Audrey Kirby, William and Hannah Thornton. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Roland and Vallie Robert, Mike and Loyce Waguespack, and Robert Black.

Jacques was a proud graduate of St. Theresa of Avila Catholic School, Catholic High School (Class of 2002) and Louisiana State University where he earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering and later an MBA. He enjoyed his time at LSU with his brothers at Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Jacques went on to build a successful career at Exxon, where he flourished in his role in Global Market Development. His work ethic and skill were evident to all who worked alongside him. Jacques dedicated his life to family and the Catholic Church. Growing up, he served as an altar boy and continued his service as an usher at St. Anne Catholic Church in Tomball, Texas and active member of the local Knights of Columbus.

Jacques’ legacy will continue through his loved ones. Known for his warm personality, he truly never met a stranger. He had a natural gift for making people feel welcome and valued. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, share a laugh, and brighten someone’s day with his sense of humor. In his free time, Jacques enjoyed woodworking, cooking, coaching youth sports, playing guitar, spending endless hours with his multitude of friends, but most of all, time with his wife and children – playing softball, building projects, and fishing. On any given day, he could be found with a chain saw or jambalaya paddle in hand.

Though his time here was far too short, Jacques’ legacy of love, kindness, and laughter will live on through his family and the countless lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Even in death, Jacques’ generosity continues, as his gift of organ and tissue donation will touch many lives.
