Nestor Chevalier Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 3, 2001.
Inseparable Brothers
Nestor Chevalier always let his kid brother, Maurice, tag along. Though the brothers were five years apart, they were inseparable growing up in Washington Heights. They worked out together at the gym, and danced to salsa at the nightclubs. They even moved out of their mother's house into an apartment of their own in the neighborhood. "We were the best of friends," Maurice said. "We did everything together."

Nestor Chevalier, 30, verified trades at Cantor Fitzgerald and had planned to marry his girlfriend of nine years, Lillian Fermin, in October. He loved to tell stories about his life, often exaggerating the details for even bigger laughs. He found a rapt audience in his family and friends. Just last month, Maurice took Nestor to a salsa club to celebrate his big brother's birthday. Maurice danced all night.

"I miss him dearly," Maurice said.

I live in Suisun City CA. 10 years ago our city received 2 portions of steel beams from the Towers. They were placed in front of our fire station as a memorial to all who perished on 9-11. At the ceremony in 2011 I received a card with Nestor's name. I still hold that card close to my heart. To Nestor's family: every time I pass by our fire station I think of your Nestor. I am sure he watches over all of you from his restful place in heaven. God Bless you & all of your family members. I will be placing a flower of remembrance for Nestor on the steel beams this weekend on the 20th anniversary of his passing.

Earlier this week our town received 2 10ft steel beams from the WTC. Today a 911 memorial ceremony was held in our town (Suisun City CA). At the ceremony today they handed out name badges for people to wear, and I received Nestor's nametag. To his family and friends, I feel your sadness and pain at losing this young man. I will cherish his badge, and keep it always to remember how suddenly our lives can change. I wish you all peace.

Some people come into our lives and quickly leave while others stay awhile leaving footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.
I felt this quote very fitting for you and the impact you had on those that knew you. I miss talking to you, seeing your big smile, and laughing about the day we met and those leather pants.. Lol! Wishing you eternal peace.

Nestor, this is Anthony Mendez. I've always had you in my heart, never forgetting. I can still remember the days when we were growing up together, going to St.Rose of Lima. You were my first real friend and I always looked up to you. Your mom and my mom became very good friends. We were brothers for those 8 years and I learned alot from you. Say hello to my sister up there, you guys are in a better place than us. Love you man, Anthony from 160th st.

I signed your guest book after recieving a memorial button on the first anniversary of 9/11 bearing the name of Nestor Chevalier. On every anniversary, I proudly wear this button and give details about the special person Nestor was to anyone who asks. Now, I am living in England and I continue to spread the word about all the wonderful people the horrific events of 9/11 took from us. My prayers are always with Nestor, his brother, his family and friends. God bless.

This is why I always say I love YOU....



My prayers go out to the friends and families of the My dear friend Nes.



IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

May time continue to ease the sorrow of the Chevalier family to have lost one of the most decent and nicest men to grace NY.

I was blessed to see firsthand the incredible bond Nes had with his brother, Mauricio.

Two handsome and dashing Domicanos but the most upstanding and classy guys you could ever meet.

Mauricio and Nes, if it's any solace, remember that the love and respect you showed for each other, inspired everyone you touched.

And we are eternally grateful, for having met both of you.

I stumbled upon this site and my heart felt as though it was pierced when I saw my dear sweet friend. My heart is saddened because we lost touch and I had not spoken to you for awhile. We had such great times when we worked in Brooklyn together and hung out for lunch sometimes. You are the type of person who brightens everyone's day, how could anyone stay in a bad mood around you! I looked forward to seeing you just to see what kind of fly suit you had on that day! You were an exception in today's society a geniunely good person who was devoted to his friends and family. I loved the fact that you were a shoulder to lean on when I needed someone to listen. I am glad I got to meet your brother when we all hung out a couple of times, and witness the remarkable bond between the two of you. They way you talked about your brother anyone would think you were twins since you share thid unspoken bond. It makes me appreciate my siblings even more. My heart and prayers go out to your family. They can take solace in the fact that your legacy will live on in the lives you touched.

This morning, on the first anniversary of 9/11, I attended a performance of Mozart's Requiem. As we entered the Basilica, each person was given a commemorative button imprinted with the name of a 9/11 victim. With shaking fingers, I pinned the button bearing the name of Nestor Chevalier onto my red, white and blue dress. As the strains of the beautiful music filled our exquisite Basilica, I whispered your name, Nestor Chevalier, and wondered what kind of person you were. I prayed that your last moments were not filled with terror, but rather that you felt the hand of God on your shoulder as you left this earth. I will continue to pray for you Nestor, and for those you left behind who miss you so dearly, especially your dear brother and fiancee. May God give them all comfort. God Bless them all and God Bless America !

I met you one late-afternoon in the Spring of 2001; riding the 1 Train home. Your aura was so vibrant, I couldn't help but notice you. They were children playing around us and everytime your eyes caught their laughter; you would smile. I thought to myself, that you must have a gentle heart and a warm soul.

We spoke briefly about our upringing and our accomplishments as children of Washington Heights.

I wish we could of shared more, I wish I would of accepted your invitation to 'Coogan's' that Thursday night.

It hurt so much to see your face in the list of victims, I left work really upset that day. It was raining and I couldn't help but feel angry and afraid. But....

I know that wherever you are, it is not by coincidence and it's not because of man's evilness. You left this world because God wanted it so... and to know that keeps my heart at peace. You are and will always be a special person, now and thereafter.....

Dear Nestor,

I'm never going to forget you and your voice. Although we never met, through our jobs we became good friends. I'm never going to forget how I felt the morning of Sept 11 while I stood on my trading floor. You were the first person I thought about and I prayed that you had called in sick. As a couple of days passed I could still feel my heart in my throat looking for a picture to match the name "Nestor Chevalier" while walking through Grand Army Plaza. You are a very bright young man...do you remember our conversation we had the day before on 9/10? As always after taking care of work we would have a little chit chat. I would ask how your mother was, you would ask how school was going. You became a very special friend via phone. You're very sweet and I'm never going to forget my friend Nestor. Now I can put a face behind that voice. I miss ya!



May God keep you in his glory!

Love your friend

Nestor,



We grew up together, and I definitely know how long a road you took to achieve your level of success. You were the pride of Washington Heights, the pride of our Dominican community. We on the block mourn you still to this day.



Many of us from the old school of Saint Rose of Lima are still in shock, especially the girls, because you were to many of us our first kiss.



My heart till this day has not grieved less for you. I wish I had gone with you guys to that salsa party with you, Mauricio, and your cousin as planned instead of me staying home.



I know your fiancee has lost a great love, but I am sure that you can love her still in heaven.



With lots of love,



Raybblin

We are very sorry for your loss of Nestor. May his story telling exaggerations, his life and love continue living in those who love him. May the sorrow you feel be lightened by warm memories of times with Nestor. Our hearts cry with you.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
