Justo Patrick Rouen

Justo Patrick Rouen Age 21 Years of Victoria Street, Matthew Town Inagua, Bahamas and formerly of Nassau, New Providence, the Bahamas passed away at his residence on Saturday, November 04, 2006.

Justo was born on Wednesday, December 12, 1984. At the tender age of two years old Justo entered school, his first being the Busy Bee preschool in Matthew Town, Inagua. After his mother relocated to Nassau, he attended the Wood Cock primary school, then C.C Sweeting high school. He later entered the Bahamas Technical Vocational Institute to pursue Auto Mechanics.

Every child is a gift. The treasure in that gift is ours to mould and keep. The life belongs to God, and despite the human frailties and imperfections is still special to God.

Justo was no exception to this rule. He was just too handsome to ignore. He possessed charm, and yes like some of us he had his share of difficult times in his childhood and his short-lived adult life. Yet the warmth, childlike innocence and love managed to blossom whenever it could.

He craved for a few simple things in life too many of us overlook as a result of our busy schedules. In the steam of things, we lost him to the cruelest elements in life, a force to reckon with in the lives of others his age. Our lost is his gain as he no longer has to be plagued by the heart drenching challenges in life. He will certainly be missed by those of us who cared and tried so hard with him.

The Radiance of this "Turquoise of a Gem" will always glow in the hearts of his:
