Elidieu Theoc

Elidieu was born on October 6, 1957, in La Tortue, Haiti, an island that remained close to his heart throughout his life. He was born to the late Jeantilus Theoc and the late Altenie Frederic. He began his education at the National School on the island. During his childhood in Haiti, he developed a love for gardening, a passion that reflected his appreciation for nature and the simple joys of life.

At a very young age, Elidieu left Haiti and moved to the Bahamas before eventually making his way to the United States. Upon arriving in the United States, he continued his education while working hard to support himself and his loved ones back home in Haiti. His journey was one of determination, perseverance, and sacrifice.

Elidieu had a charming personality and a genuine love for people. He loved everyone he met and was known for his kindness, warmth, and ability to connect with others. He enjoyed spending time in both Haiti and the United States and maintained a deep connection to his homeland and his family.

Above all, Elidieu was a man of faith. He loved going to church and was a proud and active member of his church community. His relationship with God was an important part of his life, and he sought to live his faith through his actions, devotion, and love for others.
