Sem David Alvarez was born on April 9, 1987, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He relocated to the United States along with his mother and brother in April 2006. After graduating from Toussaint Louverture High School and spending a short time at Palm Beach State College, Sem decided to enlist in the United States Marine Corps where he spent four years serving his new home. During his time in the military, he completed basic training in Parris Island in South Carolina, Infantry training at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, aviation specialist training in Mississippi, then was stationed in Iwakuni Japan, and Cherry Point, North Carolina.
Sem was an avid fan of soccer from childhood. He enjoyed movies and TV shows and was a lifelong learner with a particular interest in technology.
He was a beloved son and brother whose infectious laugh brought joy to everyone around him. Sem passed away on February 12, 2023, at the Douglas Center for Caring in Jacksonville, Florida, surrounded by his loved ones.
Memorial services will be held on Thursday, February 23, 2023, at 11 am in the chapel of CedarBay Funeral Home, with Minister Marsha Parson officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.
