Harry "Jack" Mohabir

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Harry "Jack" Mohabir, a revered and special person to those who knew him whose journey began on January 19, 1953, in Belaire, Guyana, and came to a peaceful close on August 23, 2023. Jack, as he was affectionately known, leaves behind a legacy of camaraderie, passion, and an unwavering love for life and his family.

Born to parents Bindesraie and Nandkishore Mohabir, Jack grew up in a warm and welcoming family of eight siblings - Teddy, Meena, Owadh, Chandra, Sunita, Jai, and Raj. Jack's devotion to his family was immeasurable. He cherished the bonds he shared with his parents, siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and his name will forever bring love and good memories to us all.

In his youth, Jack's love for cricket blossomed into a life passion. He earned the honor of captaining the cricket team of Belaire Village, Guyana, showcasing his leadership and sportsmanship on the field. His love for the sport was matched only by his dedication to his teammates and the sense of community they built together.

In pursuit of new opportunities, Jack journeyed to the United States on his 38th birthday, January 19, 1991. He embraced a fresh chapter of his life with enthusiasm, beginning his career as a concierge at the Pavilion Luxury Apartments. Known by everyone in this room and beyond for his charm and genuine kindness, Jack quickly became a beloved figure within the community at his workplace where he remained for several decades before he retired and moved back home.

Jack's spirit thrived in his hobbies. He found solace on the cricket field, where he could channel his love for the game and foster the friendships he cherished. His motorcycle allowed him to embrace the freedom of the open road, and he relished every moment spent riding his bike all those years. Above all, Jack's heart was happiest when surrounded by friends and family, sharing laughter, stories, memories.

Although Jack's physical presence is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the countless lives he touched. His legacy of camaraderie, passion for cricket, and love for life, friends and family will forever inspire those who knew him.

A celebration of Jack's life will be held on Thursday, August 24,2023 at R Stutzmann & Son Funeral Home. Family and friends are invited to gather, reminisce, and pay tribute to a man who embodied the values of love, friendship, and living life to the fullest.
