Aubrey Jobe Death: It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our beloved father, Aubrey Jobe. Aubrey was the victim of a tragic hit-and-run incident that occurred on the night of Thursday, April 3rd, between 10:00 PM and 10:20 PM at the corner of Jan Smuts and Blomvlei Road. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals and the many prayers offered in his name, Aubrey sadly succumbed to his injuries and passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning, April 6th.
We are still grappling with the shock and pain of this sudden loss. Losing someone so unexpectedly, and under such heartbreaking circumstances, is something no family should have to endure. Our grief is deep, our pain is raw, and our hearts are heavy as we try to come to terms with the absence of a man who meant so much to so many.
Aubrey was more than a father. He was a rock, a guiding light, a protector, and a source of strength for our family. He was a man who loved deeply, gave generously, and lived with integrity. Known for his warm heart, quiet wisdom, and the way he always showed up when someone needed him, Aubrey touched countless lives over the years.

Whether it was through his daily interactions, his presence in the neighborhood, or his simple acts of kindness, Aubrey was the kind of man who made people feel seen and cared for. He believed in helping others, in treating everyone with respect, and in living a life that left a mark—not through grand gestures, but through steady love and unwavering principles.
As a father, he gave us more than just guidance—he gave us his heart. He worked hard to provide, to protect, and to teach us the values that would carry us through life. He taught us the importance of honesty, humility, kindness, and resilience. He led by example, not just in words, but through the way he lived. He never had to raise his voice to be heard; his presence alone spoke volumes.
Though life brought its fair share of challenges, Aubrey faced every obstacle with strength and grace. He had a quiet courage about him—never boastful, but always brave. Even when times were hard, he remained steady, always keeping his family close and his faith strong.
It is especially painful that he was taken from us in a way that feels so cruel and unjust. The fact that the person responsible has not yet been found only deepens our sorrow. We hold on to the hope that justice will prevail, not only for our peace of mind but because Aubrey’s life deserves accountability and respect. We continue to ask anyone with information to come forward. Please help us bring closure to this painful chapter and ensure that what happened to Aubrey does not happen to another innocent soul.
In the midst of this tragedy, we have been surrounded by an outpouring of love and support. To everyone who has called, visited, messaged, and prayed for us—thank you. Your kindness has brought light to our darkest days. Your words have brought comfort, and your presence has reminded us that we are not alone in our grief.
To those who knew Aubrey personally, we invite you to hold onto your memories. Remember his smile, his laughter, the way he would stop to chat even if he was in a rush, the times he lent a hand without being asked. Remember the goodness he brought into this world, and let it inspire you to live a little more kindly, a little more patiently, and a little more fully.
Funeral arrangements are still being finalized, and we will share those details as soon as they are available. We hope to gather together—family, friends, neighbors, and loved ones—to honor Aubrey’s life, celebrate the man he was, and find solace in the shared stories of his impact. We ask that you wear your hearts on your sleeves when we do—let this be a farewell not marked only by sadness but also by love and remembrance.
To my family: We will get through this, one step at a time. We will lean on each other. We will cry when we need to, and we will smile when we remember. Dad’s legacy lives in each of us—in the way we speak, in the way we carry ourselves, in the way we love. He didn’t just raise a family; he built a foundation, and now it’s up to us to carry that strength forward.
To my dad, Aubrey: I don’t have enough words for the goodbye I never got to say. But I want you to know this—your life mattered. Your love mattered. The example you set mattered. I promise to honor you by living in a way that reflects the values you taught us. I will look after our family, and I will carry your memory with pride and gratitude for the rest of my life.
I hope you are at peace now. I hope you’re resting in the warmth of the Heavenly Father you believed in. I hope you’re reunited with those you loved and lost. You are gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. You will always be missed. You will always be loved.
As we take each day forward, we ask for continued prayers—for strength, for healing, and for justice. And most of all, for peace. Peace for Aubrey, and peace for all of us who now walk a little slower, a little quieter, without him by our side.
Rest in eternal peace, Dad. We will love you forever.
With all our love,
Your Family
