Last week I shared these words for my Uncle. He taught us love through action, strength through patience, and family through loyalty.

In Loving Memory of
VERNON PERSAUD
December 4, 1964 – October 27, 2025

Beloved Son, Brother, Uncle, and Friend
We share the passing of our dear, Vernon Persaud, who peacefully left us on October 27th, 2025, at 1:45 AM.

After experiencing a medical emergency and spending a month in the ICU with further complications, he found peace and freedom from pain. In his final moments, he lovingly spoke of his mother and relatives who passed before him — a comforting sign that he is now surrounded by them and resting safely in their care.

Vernon will always be remembered for his kind heart, quiet strength, and gentle presence. His warmth, laughter, and love will forever remain with us and within our family.

He had a deep love and appreciation for his customers, many of whom he considered extended family. His joy came from serving the community with care and sincerity every single day.
