Jean Robert FanFan

Jean Robert Fanfan, 77, of Atlanta, Georgia, departed this life in Auburn, Georgia, on August 29, 2025. Jean Robert, affectionately known as Bob, Bèbè, Jean and brother Bob, was born to Joseph and Antoinette Fanfan on April 12, 1948 in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. He was the second child in our 8-member family. Jean Robert received his primary and secondary schooling, respectively, at Notre Dame de L'Assomption from 1957 to 1962 and at Lycée Pétion from 1963 to 1968 in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. He continued his education after he arrived in the US in 1968. He attended the RCA Electronics Engineering School from 1968 to 1970, where he obtained a degree in Electronics and Technology. He then served in the US Armed Forces during the Vietnam War from July 19, 1970 to July 14, 1971, and he was discharged honorably as a decorated Vietnam Veteran. Subsequently, he started his US Postal Office career as a clerk and he grew to revisit his affinity for technology to become a Data Collection Technician for the Brooklyn District Center, where he worked for 30 years. He is survived by his beloved children, Randolph, Gregory, Jennifer, and Tania; his dear brothers and sisters, Joseph Jr. and Lesly, Monique, Paule Marie, Marie Elsy, and Michèle. Our beloved brother's exceptional generosity and dedication to family had led him to sponsor 6 of us in the family, including myself, to come to the US in the early and late 70s. He was an assiduous worker and never hesitated to help all of us in the family financially and emotionally. He never failed to uphold his duties and commitment. From an early age, his leadership skills were evident. He was financially savvy and very generous. He valued education at his best. He had a heart of gold beneath a strong exterior, which everyone admired about him. We will always remember our beloved brother Jean Robert for his impeccable style and character. His dapper appearance and charm spoke volumes in every room he entered. A camera loved to see his smile coming. Our best friend and brother Jean had taught us so much about resilience and enjoying life to the fullest. We’ll forever cherish all the lifetime memories we shared. We now have comfort knowing that we have gained guardian angel. He is now in a better place. The void created by his transition will never be filled, he will be profoundly missed. May God receive him in his kingdom!
