Nicolas Pascal

Nicolas Pascal was born on February 10th,1940, as the third child of Robert Belzince Aladin Pascal and Rosalie (Dordouille) Pascal in St. Louis du Nord, Haiti. In 1959, When he was 19 years old, he went to the Bahamas where he worked as a housekeeper. He was presented with the opportunity to go to New York and immigrated to the United States on April 19th, 1965. At that time, there were many jobs offered to him, and he started off by working at a zipper factory in Brooklyn. He then worked at a nursing home, while attending adult night school at Joan of Arc Junior High School in order to enhance his mastery of the English language. He then attended Roberts Technical and Trade School in Manhattan where he received his diploma in auto repair mechanics. He also obtained his nursing assistant degree at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center and worked there at night, while working at Kings Highway Hospital during the day. When his job position was threatened, he decided to purchase a taxi medallion and cab in 1970 in order to work independently and to continue to help his mother and siblings who were in Haiti. "He was baptized at Hebron Seventh-Day Adventist church in Brooklyn, NY, where he served as a deacon. When he moved to Miami, Florida, he became an active member of the Zion French Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Throughout the years, he served as a deacon, Adventist Community Services member (Dorcas), Sabbath School teacher, prayer warrior of Étoiles du Matin prayer group, driver of the church van, and chorister in the choir." He married Marie Leone Pascal, formerly Lubin, on January 4th,1972 in St. Louis du Nord, Haiti. He later purchased a home in Queens Village, NY. Over the years, they were blessed with four children - Gary (Ti Ga), Parline (LouLoun), Sandra (Sundee) and Reginald (Jee). In 1986 he purchased Friendly Auto Repair shop in Miami, FL in order to prepare the way for his family to move the following year. In spite of his advanced age and protests from family and friends, he continued to pursue his passion of repairing vehicles up until a week prior to his passing. Whatever Nicolas put his hands on, by God’s help, he did it with all his might. So, as a once devout Catholic, he helped out as an altar boy in the Bahamas, under the tutelage of Father Guy, where he once had an interest in becoming a priest and attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church, in Cambria Heights, NY. However, his questions and study of the Bible, led him to convert to the Seventh-Day Adventist faith in 1984. He was baptized at Hebron Seventh Day Adventist church in Brooklyn, NY, where he served as a deacon. When he moved to Miami, Florida, he became an active member of the Zion French Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Through out the years, he served as a deacon, Adventist Community Services member (Dorcas), Sabbath School teacher, prayer warrior of Étoiles du Matin prayer group, driver of the church van, and chorister in the choir. His pursuit and love for God were not confined to the four walls of a church building, but evident by sharing his love of Christ with his wife, children, family, friends and any stranger he encountered. He enjoyed playing the guitar, reading, traveling, but most of all, sharing the gospel. Nicolas fought the good fight, despite several bouts with illness throughout the years and went to sleep on Tuesday evening, October 22nd, 2024, at the age of 84. He was the last of his siblings to survive and was preceded in death by his parents Robert Belzince Aladin Pascal (father) and Rosalie (Dordouille) Pascal (mother), siblings Charite “Charlie” Pascal (brother), Madeline (Pascal) Norelus (sister), Joanel Pascal (brother), Altide (Pascal) Sainvile (sister), Sulfina (Pascal) Imprevert (sister), Leticia (Arnoux) Pascal (sister-in-law), Amos Sainvil’s (nephew), Jean-Claude Pascal (nephew) and Raymond “Roger” Lubin (brother-in-law). He is survived by his wife, Marie Leone (Lubin) Pascal, his children - Gary Belzince Pascal, Parline Cynthia Pascal, Dr. Sandra Nicole Pascal-Isaacs and Reginald Jean Pascal, his son-in-law Hughley Isaacs, his daughters-in-law Joumelide Pierre-Pascal and Cherise Blount-Pascal and granddaughter Cheyanne Isaacs; nieces and nephews Josette (Pascal) Prophete, Jean-Robert Pascal, Loucita (Pascal) Charles, Mara Pascal, Kesner Pascal, Linda Imprevert, Venette Imprevert, Olga Imprevert, Vaudrey Norelus, Fedna (Norelus) Durisile, Erline Norelus, Lornry Norelus, Lorna Norelus, Herby Norelus, Doris Norelus, Arline (Sainvil) Lugo, Vladimir Pascal, Joanna Pascal, Joanne Pascal, Jennifer Pascal, Shenika Pascal and Mahalia Carry; cousins Villard Alce, Fritz Alce, Roland Alce, Wisley Leger, Filina Dolce, and Nerva Alphonse; in-laws Francoise Pascal (sister-in-law) and Francois Tina Norelus (brother-in-law) and numerous other cousins and relatives.
