Jean Pierre Sabarots, born Nov. 26, 1926, died Feb. 7, 2012 peacefully at home while holding the hand of his beloved wife of 57 years Monique after a long bout with cancer.
Born in St. Etienne de Baigorry in the Basque country of France, he immigrated to the United States in 1950 after proudly serving as a sergeant in the French Army where he was asked by his superiors to play the trumpet and raise and lower the French flag at the Nuremberg Trials. He came to the Bay Area to pursue his American Dream and created an amazing life for himself and his family.
Besides Monique, he is survived by his daughter Michelle, son Jean-Pierre (J.P.) Jr., brothers Michel and Jean-Baptiste, sister Marie Pedrou, sisters-in-law Dorli and Paulette, brother-in-law Michel Joubert-Vigne, as well as the Lapeyrade, Ausquy and Orpustan families, Jean-Baptiste Sabarots of West Covina, the Semerena, Irastoza and Daliere families in France, and many other cherished family and friends.
Family and friends are invited to attend Jean Pierre’s funeral service Friday, Feb. 10 at the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, 1040 Alameda de Las Pulgas, Belmont. Viewing begins at 9 a.m. and will be followed by a rosary at 9:30 a.m. and mass at 10 a.m. Interment immediately afterward at Holy Cross Cemetery, Colma.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Mills-Peninsula Hospital Foundation, 1501 Trousdale Drive, Burlingame, CA 94010, where he received incredible care from Dr. Aziz Ahmad and Dr. Bradley Ekstrand.
