He always had the time to listen to others, no matter how insignificant the matter. He worked extremely hard as a community organizer, youth basketball coach, disability advocate & city government professional. Above all, his passion was to serve and empower the Haitian community. His desire was to provide for those who did not have a voice, for those who could not provide for themselves.

He would be the one to check on everyone, and desired that his whole family would always be strongly united. He would put a smile on anyone's face and change someone's sadness into joy.
