Jerome Audilon Toussaint

It is with heavy hearts that we gather today to honor and celebrate the life of a great man: Audilon Jerome Toussaint, affectionately known as “Didi” or “Loulon.” His passing at the remarkable age of 99 has left a profound void that can never be filled. Life is a journey through the night, and Mr. Toussaint walked it with strength, grace, and dignity. He was born on May 25, 1925, in Gros Morne, located in the northwest region of Haiti, to the union of Ocean Toussaint and Elvina Cenat. In 1950, he joined the Haitian Army, where he proudly served for 30 years. While stationed in Cap-Haïtien, he met and later married the beautiful Phena Bien-Aimé in 1960. Their union lasted over five decades until her passing. Together, they built a life centered around family, faith, and service. Mr. Toussaint was a revered and loving husband, a compassionate father, a cherished grandfather, and a devout man of faith. He regularly attended church services, often accompanied by his daughters and son-in-law. Known for his warmth, sense of humor, and wisdom, he was a man of courage, good judgment, and integrity. Even after his retirement from the military, "Loulon" remained active in his community. He loved soccer, followed politics with passion, and continued farming—his lifelong routine and joy. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Phena Bien-Aimé, his parents Ocean Toussaint and Elvina Cenat, and two sons, Edward and Thony Toussaint. Mr. Toussaint leaves behind a legacy carried forward by his children: Mr. & Mrs. Amson Chery, née Edelyne Toussaint, Mr. & Mrs. Onel Toussaint, Mr. & Mrs. Louis Marie Nelson, née Odile Toussaint, Mr. & Mrs. Frantz Williamceau, née Myriane Toussaint He was a proud grandfather to:Thony Junior Toussaint, Juvens Toussaint, Lawrence Nelson, Christelle Nelson, Abigaelle Bien-Aimé, Bryan Williamceau, Ornelie Rolex, and Isaac Toussaint He is also lovingly remembered by: sisters and in-laws: Irma Prédestin & family, Giselle, Yanick, Cirtha Huguette, Christine, Sabine, Rita, Nicole, Harold, and Eddy Bien-Aimé & family, nieces and nephews: Marc Andre, Josette Audige & family, Marie-Marte, Olga, Flavie, Fredeline, Adeline, Agath, and Theophile Toussaint & family, cousins: Céliene, Alta, Dieudonné Luma, Carlo St. Fort, and Marjory Nevelus, and his many cherished friends and extended family members We extend our deepest condolences to all who are mourning this profound loss.
