"Frankétienne, a pillar of Haitian literature, art and thought, UNESCO Artist for Peace since 2010, has left us. His words, his voice and his genius transcended all borders and elevated the soul and pride of Haiti to new heights. A writer like no other, he left behind a legacy that will never fade. His works will never cease to inspire us; his spirit will continue to live on in every page he wrote. His love for Haiti, his unwavering commitment and his unique vision will always remain engraved in our memories. At this time, we have a special thought for his family, his loved ones and all the Haitian people who have lost a great light. A mapou has fallen! Thank you Frankétienne. Have a good crossing."

His voice will always resonate through his writings, bearers of our memory and our struggle. His genius will continue to inspire future generations. May his spirit remain a light for our Nation. Rest in Peace, Master." Louis Gérald Gilles, Member of the Presidential Transitional Council.

Emmanuel Vertilaire, Presidential Advisor :

"I extend my condolences to Frankétienne’s family during this time of mourning. The departure of the professor, painter, musician, singer, poet, playwright and writer is an immense loss. Beyond the man, it is an inestimable source of knowledge, transmission of knowledge and inspiration that is extinguished. The deceased was a teacher whose imprint remains engraved in the minds and hearts of his students, a writer whose words transcend time. A writer never dies, because through his works, his ideas and the thoughts he was able to awaken in his readers, he continues to live. His intellectual and human legacy remains a torch that future generations will carry high. In these moments of pain, may his memory be a balm for afflicted hearts! May his teachings, his stories and the values ​​he defended remain alive forever! To parody Jean d’Ormesson: “There is something stronger than death, it is the presence of the absent in the memory of the living.'
