Ovide was born in Cavaillon, Haiti on March 10, 1950 to Palmecoir Benoit and Genia Fervil. He grew up in Haiti where he met and fell in love with his wife Yanick. They moved to America and lived in Boston for over 10 years. They eventually moved again and settled in Delray Beach, Florida. Ovide was a hard working man and bought a home for his wife and family, an accomplishment of which he was especially proud. He was a talented handy man who could repair anything and became an entrepreneur who started his own HVAC and appliance repair company. He always made time for those he loved and believed that family comes first. He loved his wife Yanick immensely and they remained the best of friends until God called him home.
The family would like to thank both Precious Hands Sitting Company and Capstone Hospice for all of the loving care they provided to Ovide during his illness. A special thanks to his daughter, Lourdes, who cared for Ovide in her home ‘til the very end'. The level of care she provided for her father was selfless and unmatched.
Ovide was known for his kindness, generosity and he was especially known for his great sense of humor. He enjoyed the outdoors, his family and spending time with his friends. He was a comfort and wise confidant to many. Ovide loved God and our family is comforted knowing that he is now at peace. He will be remembered with love and missed dearly.
