Dutton Mitreel Diogene

Dutton Mutreel Diogene born May 13, 1939, to the late Fab and Lovincia Diogene in L’estere Haiti will be laid to rest Saturday May 7, 2022.

Dutton completed his studies at the age of 17.  He was married to Vertulia Murat Sugene and their union produced 10 children to which, seven are living.  He left Haiti at the age of 38 years old to the United States, where he worked at various jobs.

While living in the United States, Dutton still provided and cared for his family back in Haiti.  He loved to watch soccer with his family and friends.  His favorite team was Brazil.  He also enjoyed watching a good wrestling match to which he referred as " lutte chalibrik" featuring Hulk Hogan and/ or the Ultimate warrior. He liked travelling and visiting new places. He had completed many building projects in Haiti and had plans for many more. He was a dreamer and was always planning something. He kept himself busy. He was determined and nobody or nothing could dissuade him from his plans.

Although, Dutton was living in the United States, specifically in Irvington New Jersey, he kept in constant contact with his children and often called them to encourage them to do well in school. He instilled in them a love for education. He knew that education would give them a better chance to succeed in the new life he was planning for them.

Dutton was able to overcome many different health obstacles in his lifetime.  Despite health challenges, he was known as someone with a fighting spirit.

In April 2022, this champion fought his last battle.  He was called to be with the Lord on the 18th of April 2022, to be exact.

He shared his life and love with his wonderful Vertulia Diogene

His sons and their wives:  Bruno (Anita), Wilman (Mariziace), and Gary (Sindy)

 Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay…
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey’s quicker,
For some the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

“WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, WELCOME HOME”!
