Born on February 23, 1951, in Granville, he was the son of the late Donald and Ilene (Roberts) Jabot.  As a baby, Art was adopted and became a member of the Jabot family.  In his later years, he was fortunate in finding and becoming close with his birth family.  Art was lucky for being loved by both his adopted family and is birth family.

Following his graduation from Hudson Falls High School, Art enlisted in the US Army as a Medic, caring for wounded soldiers arriving from Viet Nam.   After his active duty, he served in the National Guard for 15 years.  While serving in the Guard, he was deployed at Comstock Prison during an uprising and also at the 1980 Olympics.

Art worked at Northern Homes, where he loaded trucks.  He also was employed as a custodian at Hartford Central School and at BOCES, where he became senior custodian.  After working hard for many years, Art retired at the age of 65.

He loved history, especially during the Civil War era.  Art participated in several Civil War reenactments and encampments.  He even had the wonderful opportunity to encamp at the sacred Gettysburg battlefield in PA.

Art loved and cherished his family.  They were the center of his world.  He always sacrificed his own needs and wants to make sure his family was taken care of, never regretting a moment.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers, Kevin Shaw and Arvin Jabot.
