Jodel Jean Blain

It was like yesterday you were still here with us playing on the Kinect, and now I remain with another piece of my spirit taken away, I miss you, Grandma Maribell misses you, everyone does, I hope you and Dad are having a good time together watching me travel the path to success, I have hit honors classes, I plan to do many things with the life I’ve been granted, including making a successful business to suit everyone’s needs, I think I’ll name it Blain’s Endeavors to remind me of you, dad and all of my deceased relatives, You’ll like what you see :). Anyway, see you up there, love you always.

Sincerely, Kenneth Jr. , Age 14, Year 2020

Au revoir cousin/Neveu!

It seems like it was yesterday that I used to watch you when you were walking out of apt. F1 with a radio in your hand, you were the definition of cool. When I used to spend summer vacations in NY, I remember that you would always take the time to sit-down with me and chat about life in Montreal, I appreciated these moments; they made me feel like a grown-up. Even if I hadn't seen you in a long time, I'd always ask my uncle about you. I was very happy and proud when I heard that you became captain and achieved your dream. That dream was probably instilled in you by the name that you were given, Jodel (which is a French aircraft company founded in the 1940s). So keep on spreading your wings and fly as high as you can, the burden has been lifted from your shoulders.

Jodel was my cousin. I have always told my son Ryan to follow in his footsteps as peruses his career as a pilot. Jodel was a fine father, wonderful husband and a great man. We will miss him. I have learned through this experience that I have to stop being so "busy". I WILL seek out the people that matter to me, MY FAMILY and let them know they are special to me. I miss you Joe. Thank you to Aunt Yvonne and Papa Ednair for bring this fine man into this world. Maribel thank you for sharing a great example of what marriage should be. Love you all, Eunice Mirville-Johnson.
Rest in peace Cousin Joe.

Joe I am so sad to hear about your early departure, but you will never be forgotten
Many people remember you as a great pilot and friend but no one was lucky to be your test co-pilot as I did. I will never forget the day that you called me and ask me if I want to go with you on those little planes. I remember that when you asked Maribel she told you I know who you can ask and she will be happy to flight with you. Today when I mentioned this to my friends they always said you were crazy but I knew who I was flying with. Your love, dedication and passion for flying was my security pass I knew I was with THE BEST PILOT. Knowing your passion, love and dedication for flying I never hesitate to said yes I will go with you. Also I remember how we laughed when we discovered that I did not reach the pedals. We discovered that a pilot could not be as short as me but we immediately solved the issue and perform a super-incredible flights, never forget that I was able to see the beautiful South Florida from the air thanks to you. Also I was able to learn very issues that every pilot should take in consideration before they take off so now I appreciated that profession even more thanks to you. I love you Joe and I will miss you.

The Blain family... Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Love and hugs.

The Elie family

My condolences goes out to the family of a great man. I worked several flights with Jodel and we had a blast everytime. He was very quiet to some, but my sense of humor had him cracking up and always looked forward to chatting it up with me. He was definitely a family man and would say nothing would keep him from a special event and I knew exactly what he meant. I'm truly going to miss Jodel, but I'm blessed I had the opportunity to get to know him. Rest now my friend there is no more sickness or pain.
