Obituary for Clovis Michel
Clovis Michel was born in Au Cayes Jacmel, Haiti on December 12, 1945 to Pelisiye and Esperanta Lafond Michel. At the age of 13, he relocated to the Dominican Republic where he spent a significant portion of his life. It was there that he met his wife of 40 years, Marie Francois Michel. Their union produced 10 beautiful children and 18 grandchildren.
Clovis was a devoted father and grandfather who worked very hard to provide for his family. The family moved to Jacksonville, FL in November 1993. He often worked as a handyman/construction worker.
Above all else, he loved the Lord. Clovis would spend most of his time reading his bible and praising the Lord. In his down time, he enjoyed spending time with his family, laughing and wearing a smile, expanding his suit collection, collecting radios and cassettes despite the invention of smart phones, and possibly his favorite hobby - sitting on the front porch waiting for the mailman.
Clovis could also be found asking everyone that he encountered, “You speak Spanish?” to possibly eliminate any language barriers. His very gentle and humble countenance allowed him to get along with absolutely anyone. In all relationships, he would go the extra mile. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him. To know him was to love him.
Clovis departed this life on Tuesday, July 28, 2020 and was preceded in death by his parents, Pelisiye and Esperanta Lanfond Michel; and sisters, Lodanise, Erine, and Rosemani Michel.
Clovis is survived by his wife, Marie Francois Michel; 10 children, Sandra Jerome (Peter), Milka Michel Anelus (Ronald), Dolka Michel Fleurigene (Onel), and Jaurel Michel, Sr. (Sylvia); Bissono, Marjorie, Ricardo, Marie Violette, Charlene, and Chela Michel; 18 grandchildren; and a host of other family members and friends.
