Jean Delisma Cazeau was born on March 17, 1927 in Marbial, Haiti to Lorangel Cazeau and Silna Nelson. He was the fourth child of the Christian couple and he had five sisters and three brothers (Lorannie, Lorecile, Eugene, Jean-Lorais, Joyeuse, Loranna, Lorancia, Charite). Jean was an intelligent, hard-working and resilient child who loved God, his family, and music. Jean obtained his Carpentry Certification in JB Damien, Alpha Technique. He was a skilled carpenter who created magnificent hand-made wooden furniture. On December 28, 1963, Jean married in Jacmel, Haiti. His new bride welcomed Jean’s three children into their young family. They would later have five children together.
With his JB Damien Carpentry Certification, Jean qualified to apply for residency in the United States under the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act. Jean prayed and took his request to God. God answered and on October 30, 1969, Jean immigrated to Brooklyn, New York. He immediately started working at St. Patrick’s Home for the Aged. Jean applied for his wife and children to be granted legal residency in the United States and on March 18, 1971, his wife, and their children immigrated to the United States. Jean’s youngest daughter was born in New York the following year. Not one to leave any of his children behind, Jean also successfully applied for his three older children to obtain legal resident status in the United States. As a father, Jean emphasized the importance of education to his children while teaching them the difference between knowledge and wisdom. He was a loving, patient, devoted, and good, good father to all his children. Jean was committed to serving God. He was a Sunday school teacher and sang bass in the Men’s Choir at the French Speaking Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York. An avid musician, Jean was a talented guitar player and singer. He had a beautiful voice and often played his guitar at home while his wife and children sang along with him. Always one to use all his God given skills to serve the Lord, in the 80’s, Jean designed and built a beautiful handmade wooden pulpit for the large Baptist church that is still being used by pastors and preachers several decades later today.
Jean worked hard to provide a good life for his wife and children. In 1994, after 25 years of service as a dietician, Jean retired from St. Patrick’s Home for the Aged. After praying and seeking guidance from God, he moved with his wife to Orange County, California on June 29, 2001. Soon after moving to California, he became a member of Saddleback Church. Jean was an affectionate man who had nicknames and terms of endearments for all around him. He never failed to say, “I love you” and was known for responding “I love you MORE!” Jean was passionate about serving God; loving his wife, children and neighbors. Jean enjoyed music, basketball, especially the New York Knick’s. He hated gossip and would always say, “If the fish had not opened its mouth, it would not have been caught!” He taught his children to put God first and to never let their circumstances define or change who they are as Christians. He modeled and taught his children to love others, to have compassion and to take care of those in need. Jean was a spiritual leader and mentor; he stressed the importance of restraint and silence. He taught his family to have faith and to align their ways with God’s ways.
Peacefully and lovingly surrounded by his wife, children, in laws and grandchildren in the comfort of his home, Jean went to be with his Lord and Savior on January 7, 2018. He will be remembered for his warm loving smile, strength of character, resiliency, unfailing patience and devotion to God. Jean was preceded in death by his parents and all his siblings. Jean leaves behind his wife, children, grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends. All whom he loved MORE!
