Luc Andre Fleurestil

On a quiet Monday, the world bid farewell to a soul whose journey was a testament to the power of faith, love, and relentless dedication. Luc Andre Fleurestil, born in Port-de-Paix, Haiti, on Monday, June 8, 1959, began his earthly voyage at L’Hopital Immaculee Conception. As the first-born son of Ismelia Louis and Nazaire Fleurestil, Luc had a bond strengthened by shared laughter and childhood adventures with his brothers and cousins. His early years, spent amidst familial warmth and the natural beauty of the Haitian shores, were the canvas on which his adventurous spirit was painted. From the spirited child who found joy in the simplicity of the beach, to the youth who dedicated his energy to ministry, Luc’s path was always guided by Jesus Christ, a beacon of his faith. His quest for knowledge led him from the classrooms of College Notre Dames De Lourdes and Primat De L’Esprit Terminal Petit Seminaire to the promise of a future in the United States. With his family’s blessings, he embarked on a journey to Miami, Florida, in 1984, laying the foundations of a legacy that would extend far beyond the academic halls of Bay Ridge Christian College in Kendleton, Texas, class of 1989. His formal educational journey would culminate with a master’s degree in Christian education from Anderson University in 1993. Pastor Luc, as he would come to be known, was a shepherd to his flock, guided by an unwavering commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ. He did not walk his spiritual journey alone. On December 25, 1993, he married Guerda Labranche, who was his beloved partner in both life and ministry. Their union, blessed with daughters Mashli and Sarah, and later Christie Jacques-Louis, was a testament to Luc’s belief that his greatest calling was to nurture the hearts of his own family. Luc’s life was marked by service, not only to his church but to everyone around him. His various roles, from humble beginnings at Turnberry Isles to impactful work as a hospice chaplain and a dedicated employee of the Social Security Administration for over a decade, were all imbued with excellence and compassion. His presence was a source of comfort and joy, as he embodied the spirit of community and shared humanity. Through his thirty years of leadership at Fraternity Baptist Church, Pastor Luc fostered a sanctuary of growth, healing, and spiritual connection. His efforts with the Vacation Bible School program, 8AM English service for youth, and early morning prayer gatherings helped strengthen members’ relationships with the Lord. With many hospital visits and fervent prayer, he courageously advocated for healing and transformation, all the while holding firm to the conviction that heaven was his ultimate destination. As we reflect on the life of Pastor Luc Andre Fleurestil, who peacefully entered eternal rest on April 1st, 2024, let us find solace in the legacy he leaves behind. A legacy that calls us to love deeply, serve passionately, and live our lives as a reflection of our confidence in Jesus Christ. He is cherished in memory by his beloved wife Guerda; his daughters: Mashli, and Sarah; nieces: Christie, and Farah; nephew: Jess Andre; his father: Nazaire; mother: Ismelia; great-aunt: Elza; brother: Pierre Andre; cousins: Gilberte, Gina, Goethz, Shama, Sventz, and Mijhnir, and countless other extended family members, and friends.
