It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and companion in mission, Roger JEAN (Tiden), who passed away suddenly early this morning. His creativity, when faced with a problem, was like no other—he always found a way. There was never a problem Tiden couldn’t fix creatively, and he was always there in a pinch.
His greatest desire in the world was to see others happy and healthy, and he would do anything possible to make that happen—from driving through the night to obtain life-saving medical care for someone (on multiple occasions), to bringing people together to repair sections of road so that critical supplies could get through, to helping the sisters with anything and everything. He has been a great friend and an integral part to our mission in Gros Morne and Haiti in general. We will miss him dearly.
He found great joy hosting people on his "beach" along the river, cooking up a feast like no other. He found pleasure sitting around the table playing dominos and listening to music with a easy deep belly laugh. We've lost a legend. May he rest in peace...
