Jean Terzimon Andre
April 4, 1935 — December 12, 2023
Jean Terzimon Andre also known as Boklo to friends and family, 88 years of age resided at 2641 Gately Drive W APT 802, West Palm Beach, Florida 33415; passed away on Tuesday December 12, 2023 at 11: AM.
Jean Terzimon Andre was born on April 4th,1935 in Bainet in the South East Department of Haiti. He did his primary education in Bainet and his secondary school in Jacmel, Haiti. After his father’s passing, he left his birth place for Port-au-Prince with his wife and kids in 1973 to pursue a better life for his young family. Jean Terzimon Andre was a business man and also worked as a Custom Inspector. He moved to the United States, a neighboring country to Canada with his wife in 2009 to be closer to his children. Jean Terzimon was a father, a husband, an uncle, a cousin, a brother-in-law, a brother and also a good friend. He was such a humble individual that he calls his wife’s younger brother “uncle Francoeur”. He loved to dance, listened to the news and music, watched soccer games and spent most of his days outside. When he comes to his family and friends, Boklo was a selfless man, he would give the shirt off his back to make sure they were ok. He connected even to a stranger at ease. By being around his son and his daughter in law he had developed a love for gardening. In 2009, he planted a mango tree and asked his daughter in law if he would live long enough to eat the fruits of the tree. 2023 was the first year that the tree bloomed and produced tons of mangoes, so Boklo got to eat plenty of mangoes from that tree he planted in 2009 this year before he left this earth. Terzimon would call a woman who knows how to cook well “on bon fanm”. He was a gentle-man!
Jean Terzimon Andre is survived by his wife Marie Urzile Andre, his two sons Walmond and Walder Andre. His daughter in law Gaetshyns Andre, his five daughters Darla, Ketlie, Mulhouse, Oldie, Guilda and their spouses. His ten Grand Children and 3 great grandchildren.

His God daughter and niece Lydia Andre and 48 other nieces, 12 nephews, 60 great nieces and nephews and other extended family members and their children on his and his wife side.
