Pastor Alfred Pierre made his triumphant transition to glory on September 6, 2021, with his eyes looking toward Heaven. Assuredly, the angels rejoiced at his arrival. Though we are saddened by this sudden loss today, we come together to rejoice and celebrate the life of Pastor Pierre. Today we remember a son, a brother, a husband, a friend, a teacher, a counselor, a philosopher, a pastor, and a servant of the Lord. Pastor Pierre was born on August 3, 1957. in Cormie, a small village in Cap Haitian, Haiti, to the late Gerard Pierre and Esther Alfred. Esther Alfred worked in Labadee, Haiti selling dolls, while Gerard spent his days as a fisherman. Together they raised Pastor Pierre and his siblings. Two sisters Marie Lucie, Marie Jeanne, and his three brothers Willie, Meus, and Georges. Pastor Pierre attended Lyce Philippe Guerrier, where he gained a thirst for knowledge and a love for education. As a young man, traveling became a passion of Pastor Pierre as he would travel to the United States frequently in the late 1980s. In search of a better life for himself and his family Pastor Pierre, decided to move to the United States in 1997. Unfortunately, he had to leave his children Dalene, Emmanuela, Nirla, Brenda, Patrick, Garry, and Fredley back in Haiti. In September of 2002, Pastor Pierre met his future wife Alide Jean Louis. The two married on March 29, 2003. Together they shared the purest form of love one could only imagine seeing in this life. Although, the couple did not have any biological children of their own. Their home was never empty. Along the years the couple opened their doors to many such as Sr. Nadine Joseph and her two children Joshua and Theresa Almonord. In 2009, Pastor Pierre’s two nieces Woodalyne and Woodjina came to live with the couple. Most recently Sr. Marie Joseph. Giving the couple the nickname of “Aunty and Uncle” to many in the community. They shared a home filled with love, compassion, and understanding. Pastor Alfred was a hard worker. A landscaper by trade, Pastor by choice. Pastor Pierre was a man of God. He loved the Lord, and the Lord loved him, a prayer warrior indeed. Pastor Pierre was always just one phone call away, never too busy, or tried to lend a helping hand.
