It is with deep sorrow and abiding love that we announce the passing of Jean Marie Dorestant, beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Jean Marie was born on November 7, 1979, in Anse-à-Veau, Haiti, and was raised in Pétion-Ville, where his strong sense of duty and character began to take root.

Jean Marie proudly served his community as a police officer, dedicating his life to protecting others with courage, honor, and integrity. He will be remembered for his unwavering strength, generosity, and the profound love he held for his family.

He is survived by his loving wife, Regine Dorestant, and his cherished daughter, Gressy Dorestant, who were the light of his life. Jean Marie was the devoted son of Lucia Dorestant and Fabien Dorestant, and a treasured brother to Jina, Peggy, Aurabien, Patricia, Christina, and Ferizien. He also leaves behind a host of dear nieces and nephews, extended family, colleagues, and friends who will carry his memory in their hearts.
