Antoine Lebel (November 24, 1982- March 19, 2007), was better known as the Senior VP of a local Winnipeg tobacco company, Royal Flush Tobacco. He had a very long distinguished career, mostly working in the tobacco industry, working up the ranks to becoming a respected businessman. Everything seemed to be going his way, until his tragic death.
Early Life Antoine Lebel was born and raised in Quebec City. His entire family was burnt down in a housefire when he was 7. He then had to live with his least favorite aunt, Aunt Maria. By the age of 15, he found out he still had a brother living in San Andreas. He convinced his Aunt Maria to take him there 'just for fun' even if it was just to find his brother. When in San Andreas, his Aunt Maria was hit by a car. She unfortunately, died. Antoine was forced to move to Brooklyn to live with his adopted cousin, Brian Peppers, and his 2 uncles. One of the uncles was involved in the mafia and got killed in cold blood in front of Antoine. Scarred for life, he ran away with a woman called Sylvie Lafleche, to Winnipeg, and got her pregnant.

Personal Life Antoine Lebel was one of the most respected men in Winnipeg, mostly because of his willingness to put his own body at risk for the sake of others. In the year 2002, he was working for a local tobacco company, Royal Flush Tobacco. Business was falling to an all-time low due to anti-smoking campaigns, so he did the unthinkable. He decided that if he wanted to make a difference in his life, that this was the time. His plan to bring business back was brilliant, but dangerous. He, and his beautiful bony face, would go for the world record for most cigarettes smoked at once; 151. After the incident, on February 17th 2002, he had raised almost $6.2 million for smoking ads, but he has also contracted a rare form of lung cancer known as Mesotheleoma.
Relationships Lebel had many girlfriends. His favorite, Corrine Vienna supported him through out his journey of cancer. Antoine Lebel and Corrine Vienna had thought of getting married until they heard the news that he had Mesotheleoma. Eight months after he passed away, Corrine Vienna birthed their new born, Philippe Lebel. Antoine had gotten another girl pregnant when he was 19 and always kept her a secret. Rumours circulating around claim that the woman was an under aged, Sylvie LaFleche. It is unknown whether LaFleche took legal actions or not.
Volunteer Work Antoine Lebel was the manager for the new 'hot' band, Houvie Babies. He did not expect any pay whatsoever even if he spent most of his time catering to the band. Antoine also did a lot of volunteer work at his church, Coeur-Immaculé-De-Marie when he was 10. He never expected anything in return. He volunteered as a teachers aid for a while and still didn't get payed.
