To Uncle Jean,

Thank you for your unwavering love and passion for Christ, and an even greater love for your family. That is one thing I will always remember about you. You were truly one of the finest men to walk this earth, and I know you will continue to be the same in heaven. This is evident in how you cared for not only your own children but also the children of others, especially your wife’s nieces and nephews.

My fondest memories of you will always include the times when you took care of my siblings and me whenever our mom had to work and couldn’t find care. You never hesitated to make sure we were safe and happy, and you treated us with such kindness and patience. I’ll always remember how you made us feel special and loved, even during those times when it felt like we were just passing through life.

Another memory I will cherish is how you looked out for me after my mom passed. During that incredibly difficult time, you made sure I ate, took care of me in the simplest but most significant ways, and offered me the comfort I needed. Your support was a lifeline, and I’ll never forget the way you showed up for me when I needed it the most.

I will also always remember your impeccable English, your constant watching of TBN, and, once again, your deep love for Christ and your family. Your faith was evident in everything you did and the way you lived your life. As your children and grandchildren grow, they will continue to carry your legacy of love, devotion, and the unwavering belief that family comes first.

You taught me so much about what it means to be kind, strong, and present. I will hold on to these lessons and memories for the rest of my life. Rest well, Uncle Jean, knowing that your love and your example will live on in all of us who were lucky enough to have known you.
