Evener Leonard

Evener Leonard was born on October 15, 1958 in La Gonave, Haiti. He was the first born of his siblings and one of three brothers who had a chance to immigrate to the United States of America in the 1980’s. He was the son of Mr. MerciDieu Leonard (deceased) and Ms. Amela Jean Louis, who still resides in La Gonave, Haiti. Evener was a hard worker and worked for an agency where he provided landscaping services for major companies like Disney World. He worked for over 16 years to provide for his family and siblings. Evener met his oldest daughter, Mrs. Gina Leonard’s mom, then he met and married his son, Gary Leonard’s mother Waimonimise Beltinord, and later, he met his daughter Aleah’s mother, Mrs. Rose where he got married the second time. Evener’s priority was making sure that all of his children were doing well. He also wanted to ensure that his little girl Aleah was in the best health she could be and wanted to make sure that she got the best care she could get. Last April, Evener was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which was very disappointing for him and his wife. His wife tried all natural remedies and wanted to follow up with all doctor recommendations to see if she could find some help to save her husband’s life. Unfortunately, after all efforts and remedies, the doctor stated that there was no cure, options, or hope left for him. Evener was a wonderful person for his community and was respected by his friends and neighbors. His legacy will live on through his wife, who he loved so much, Rose; his daughters: Aleah and Gina; Son, Gary; Son-in-law: Taran Samuel; along with his Grandchildren: Jaylin, TJ, and Tristan Samuel; his brothers and sisters: Eric, Marlene, Ginette, and Ardol; his nieces, Merlandy, Ericka, etc.; and those whose names are not on the list, but they know who they are. Evener Leonard passed away peacefully in his private residence on February 20, 2024 around 6:00 A.M. If it was possible for him to talk to each and every one of us one last time, his word would be, “Thank You! Thank you to all of you who left your busy schedules to support the family in this difficult time of mourning!“
