GOD'S GARDEN
God looked around His garden,
Andfound an empty place,
He then looked down upon the Earth,
And saw y our tired face.
He put His arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine. "
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part ofus went with you
Services Entrusted to:
The day God called you home.

OBITUARY
Marc Alain Joseph was born April 3, 1981 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti to the late Agenor Joseph and Edwige Joseph. Marc relocated to the United States in the city ofFort Myers, Florida at the age of seven. He was educated in the Lee County Public School System graduating from Cape Coral High School. Marc accepted Christ at an early age at New Apostolic Church in Fort Myers, Florida where he directed the church choir. He was a strong believer in Christ and always told people "with God
all things are possible ifyou only believe. "
In 2004, Marc married the love of his life and companion of 12 years, Chertina. Together they shared many joys and challenges, including raising one daughter Nevaeh. In 2012, the family relocated to Atlanta, Georgia where Marc pursued new opportunities working as a head chef. Marc was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother, nephew and friend. He always had a positive attitude toward life. He had a kind, caring, giving and loving personality and was ready and willing to help others in any way possible. He was loved by all; to know him was to love him. Marc enjoyed music, sports and social media. He was proud of his family as they were his main focus. Time spent with his family brought him much happiness and comfort. On October 30, 2016, an angel of God was dispatched to bring Marc home. He is survived by his devoted wife Chertina Joseph; daughter, Nevaeh Joseph; mother, Edwige Joseph; grandmother Andrea Louissiant; siblings Marie Mazzio, Angela Joseph, Billy Joseph, Lucnor Joseph of Georgia, Rose Joseph of Philadelphia, Beatrice Joseph ofNew York, Pierre Joseph of Canada, Clobert Joseph of New Orleans and Junior Joseph of West Palm Beach; mother-in-law Alfreda Marshall of Ft. Myers, FL; one sister-in-law; six brothers-in-law; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives and dear friends in the US and Haiti.
