Remus Lamour

Remus Lamour, known affectionately to many as Pastor Remus, passed away on June 1, 2025, in Canton, MA, at the age of 84. Born on February 18, 1941, in Fond Melon Sud-Est Haiti, Remus's journey was one marked by resilience, faith, and a profound love for his family and community. Though his departure was due to pneumonia, his spirit remains a beacon of hope and strength to all who knew him.
He will forever be remembered by his beloved family: his spouse: Raymonde Pierre (deceased), Angela Fedee (deceased), Charite Pascal (widowed), his children Franck Lamour, Dieufort Lamour (deceased), Jesumene Fedee (deceased), Jesula Fedee (deceased), his siblings: Savin Guillaume (deceased), Zael Lamour (deceased), Manuel Lamour (deceased), Charite Pascal, Delisia Lamour (deceased).
Remus was also a proud grandfather to Gracy Anna Lamour, Ricardo Lamour, Rose Djephanithe Cheryma Lamour, Rose Fabienne Lamour, Franck J. Lamour, Sendy Lamour, Stephen Lamour, Loudemie Lamour, and a great-grandfather to Malachi Lamour Italis, Micaiah Lamour Italis, Sophie Lamour, to his nephews and his nieces: Magalie Lamour, Nesly Lamour, Martha Lamour, Marie Lourdes Louissaint. Rolky Lamour, Jenny Jacques, Sergo Theard, Malgo Guillaume, Melissa, Josseline Lamour, Johana Noel, Marcorel Noel.
Pastor Remus's life story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the human spirit's capacity for love. His legacy is carried on through his children Franck and the late Dieufort, as well as his grandchildren Gracy Anna, Ricardo, Rose Djephanithe Cheryma, Rose Fabienne, Franck J., Sendy, Stephen, and Loudemie, and his great-grandchildren Malachi and Mechala. Pastor Remus was a cherished brother to Charite Pascal and Sophie and a beloved uncle to many, including Magalie, Martha, Marie Lourdes, Rolky, Jenny, Sergo, Malgo, Melissa, Josseline, and Marcorel. Each family member was a precious chapter in the story of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them.
Remus was a man of the earth, cultivating life through farming and fishing, and nourishing souls through his passion for preaching. His influence stretched far and wide, from his beginnings in Marigot, Jacmel, Haiti, to the Dominican Republic, Cuba, New Hampshire, and finally Massachusetts. His work ethic was unparalleled, and his love for the land and the sea was evident to all who knew him. He was a man of deep faith, and he shared his conviction through his dedication to preaching, touching the lives of many with his words of wisdom and encouragement.
Beyond his professional life, Remus was an avid reader who found solace and inspiration in the written word. His love for reading was only matched by his passion for preaching. He often quoted Edmund Burke, saying, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." This sentiment perfectly encapsulated Remus's belief in the power of action and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs.
As we bid farewell to Remus, we reflect on a life well-lived, full of purpose, faith, and unwavering commitment to family and community. His spirit will live on in the hearts and memories of those who were fortunate enough to know him. Remus Lamour's journey on this earth may have concluded, but his influence and the love he shared will continue to ripple through generations to come. We take comfort in knowing that his was a life that truly made a difference.
In the words of Helen Keller, "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Pastor Remus has indeed become a part of us, and his legacy will continue to inspire and motivate us to live a life of impact and love. He will be deeply missed, but the seeds of kindness and faith he planted in the hearts of many will bloom forever.
