Born at St. Mary Hospital in West Palm Beach Florida on July 22, 1994, to Arthur Celestin and Angelique Paillant, both of Haiti. Mc-Angy grew up in Fort-Myers Florida where he attended Edison Park Creative and Expressive Art Elementary School then joined Diplomat Middle School in Cape Coral Florida for his first year of Middle School. When the family re-located in Converse Texas, Mc-Angy attended Woodlake Hills Middle where he played football and joined the school's band as the only bass clarinet player. He was such a skillful bass clarinet player that he earned a position at the Judson High School Marching Band as a freshman. He enjoyed his four years of high school as a Rocket Pride and graduated in June 2012. He was enrolled at San Antonio College’s Information Technology Security Academy (ITSA) Dual Credit Program during his Junior and Senior years. He then transferred to Texas A&M San Antonio where he graduated two year later in December 2014 with a Bachelor Degree in Information Security.
Mc-Angy is well known as Jae by all his friends and co-workers. He was a faithful fan of LA Lakers and a passionate fan of Kobe Bryant. He was an avid lover of arts and fashion, photography and video editing, video game live streaming and music, just to name a few. He was a loyal employee (from 2012 to his death) of Best Buy, Time Warner Cable and Spectrum. He was funny, respectful, outgoing, happy, vivacious, and very competitive. He was fiercely loyal to his family, his friends, his co-workers, and acquaintances. He was also a youth and choir member of the Church of The Firstborn (COFBSA) for many years of his youth. We will always remember Jae’s infectious smile, his elegant fashion style, his piercing brown eyes, and his lovely caring and soothing personality. His presence in our lives will be sorely missed.
He is survived by both parents Arthur & Angelique, his beloved sister Marlynn Banks and husband, Dominique Banks, his only nephew Dominique Banks II, and his amazing young brother Arthur Celestin, Jr, one grandmother, his uncles, and a host of aunts and cousins.
Whenever you think of Mc-Angy (Jae), always celebrate the good memories you have of him. Please remember that life is fragile and short and should be carefully lived to the fullest in ALL Holiness for the GLORY of GOD who is the AUTHOR and CREATOR of each of us.
