Nelson Camilien was born on October 23, 1952, in Petit-trou de Nippes, a town in the Nippes department of Haiti. After completing his primary and high school education, he immigrated to the United States in the 1980s.
Nelson was dynamic, dedicated, pragmatic, a good joker, and, above all, a person of strong character. He was passionate about reading, particularly books in French that dealt with spirituality and politics. He loved music (Haitian konpa) and cinema (old westerns movies); Clint Eastwood was his favorite actor.
For several years, Nelson suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure. Sadly, he passed away on July 15, 2025, leaving behind in deep sadness, his wife, three children, siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, other family and friends.
Nelson will be forever in the hearts of those who loved him.
