It is with profound sadness that the family of Xavier Roberge announces his passing in May 2026 at the age of 17. Xavier, the beloved son of Canadian comedian Jonathan Roberge, passed away peacefully after a courageous nearly seven-year battle with brain cancer.

Xavier was first diagnosed in 2019 at just 10 years old. From the moment of his diagnosis, he faced his illness with extraordinary bravery, resilience, and grace beyond his years. His journey became a testament to strength in the face of adversity, inspiring not only his family but also a wide community of supporters who followed his story throughout the years.

Those closest to Xavier remember him as a gentle, kind-hearted, and quietly determined young man whose presence brought comfort and warmth to those around him. Despite the immense challenges he endured, he remained a symbol of hope, demonstrating remarkable courage throughout his long battle.

Xavier is lovingly remembered by his father, Jonathan Roberge, his family, and all who had the privilege of knowing him or following his journey. Jonathan shared his son’s experience publicly over the years, offering moments of vulnerability, hope, and love that deeply resonated with many who were touched by their story.

Beyond his personal circle, Xavier’s journey helped raise awareness about pediatric brain cancer and the realities faced by families navigating long-term illness. His life has inspired ongoing conversations about research, support systems, and the importance of continued efforts toward finding better treatments and outcomes for children affected by similar conditions.

In honor of Xavier’s memory, his father has expressed intentions to support future fundraising efforts and initiatives aimed at advancing brain cancer research, ensuring that Xavier’s legacy continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

The family has requested privacy during this deeply painful time. Funeral arrangements and memorial service details will be shared privately, with a broader celebration of life planned at a later date.

Xavier Roberge will be remembered not only for his courage in illness but for the light, love, and inspiration he brought into the world. His memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were moved by his journey.

May he rest in peace.
