Tu es partie tres tot...
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Jean Paul Yana, 53, born on June 12, 1961 and passed away on July 14, 2014. We will remember him forever.
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times,
a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me.
God wanted me now. He set me free.
From JP Yana

ta niece Sylvie.
Quand tu faisais le temoignage aux obseques de maman en Decembre 2013, je ne pouvais pas imaginer que tu la suivra quelque mois plus tard. Ta mort soudaine et inattendue me fait vraiment mal et je n'arrive toujours pas a l'accepter. Mais que puis je faire quand le Tres Haut a decide. Je dis merci a Dieu pour l'oncle, le pere, le mentor, le conseiller que tu as ete pour moi. Tu m'as appris a avoir confiance au Seigneur malgre les difficultes que je peux traverser. je vais continuer a soutenir ton epouse que tu as laissee. Que ton ame repose en paix.
JP, Your philosophy of life was so holistic. You understood your purpose and you lived it. Your life exemplary and your fragrance everywhere. I secretly admired your God-centered nature and your yearning to improve the welfare of all. How else can life be lived? You knew the secret and you lived it one day at a time.
I miss your smiles, our chats in the corridor, and the impromptu brain teasing jokes and lessons.
The vacuum you left can never be filled.
You will always remain in our hearts till we meet again.
I returned from annual leave to learn of Jean Paul’s passing last month. I was so saddened to hear this. It is hard to imagine someone so dynamic--full of life, ideas, and good humor—to be gone. We’ll all miss him greatly and no one more so than you, who will feel his absence daily. I just wanted to convey my condolences to you and his family. In many respects you were his second family.
With best wishes and fond memories,
Mikael Cleverley
We never dreamed your death so near.
But only those who love can tell
the pain of parting without farewell.
God, give us strength to face this blow,
What it meant losing you, no one will know.
To hear your voice, to see your smile,
To sit and talk with you awhile;
To be together in the same old way
Would be our dearest wish today.
But loving memories never die
As years roll on and days go by;
In our hearts a memory is kept
Of the one we greatly admire and will never forget.
You unexpectedly took a french leave without turning your out of life assistant on. And all you left us was... alone. They say you ain't coming back, but you and I beleive we'll meet again someday.
Adieu JP
Je t’ai toujours appelé ainsi et tu t’entêtais à m’appeler P’tite sœur… Quelle façon de s’éclipser sans crier gare !!! J’ai mal…
Till we meet again P’tit frère!!!

It is really difficult to associate him with death!
We are all surely certain that death will come!
But not so too soon to such a very lively person!
But God has His plans!
I think we just have to improve our readiness at all times!
May his soul rest in peace!
Adieu JPY.
Think about what life will be like under Jehovah God rule of the kingdom.
Revelation 21:,4 say the former things have passed away. Things like death will be gone forever. I am so sorry for your loss."
Nous voici aujourd'hui au bord du vide
Puisque nous cherchons partout
Ton visage que nous avons perdu..
Tu étais des nôtres
Et nous avons perdu cette part de nous-mêmes.
Tu nous questionnais
Et nous avons perdu ta question.
Nous voici seuls
Nos lèvres serrées sur nos pourquoi.
Nous sommes venus ici chercher
Chercher quelque chose
Ou quelqu'un.
Chercher...
Chercher cet amour plus fort que tout.
Nous te cherchons partout.
Que ton Ame Repose en Paix Papa Yana
.I do not want to believe you are 'late' dear brother because i haven't seen any 'lateness' in you since i came to know you.A young and smart president,always brining up good suggestions; coming very early to work (before 7:00am) and now you are early to fall asleep in Christ Jesus.
1Thessalonian 4:14 says "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. Rest in peace dear brother.
JP was intelligent, honest, compassionate, name it- he got it.
Even though he wasn’t retired, he felt what LES retirees felt
Even though hardly sick, he felt what LES health Evacuees felt.
He didn’t only feel, but did his best to ameliorate people’s lives.
Every human life was valuable to him.
No doubt he treated his beloved wife et al. with such dignity
The usual JP smile was enough to lift up the down cast.
Oh God, how can we easily forget his great and realistic ideas?
Even on his dying bed he kept insisting to go to work and attend meetings;
Definitely for the good of others. Adieu brother!
I did not know him much but the few I knew about him is enough to break my heart. I want to believe he is in a better place now, in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus Christ!
May the comfort of God be sent to all his family members, colleagues and friends!
I did not get to enjoy your company that long, but for the short while I will say you came across as different-in taste, style and approach. Whether in your presidential capacity or as a colleague. Whoa I will never forgetyour trademark-always smartly dressed. I remember too your smile, your warm heartedness and I can go on and on. You were simply great!
Your desire to use your skills and WISDOM for our good will forever stay with us. You left us a legacy and challenge " to be each other's keeper"
As we celebrate your departure with sorrow lead us to that place where you found meaning for your life on earth so that we too could.
Chi verdiamo.
Big bro, I have benefited a lot from your ideas. We will miss you but GOD almighty loves you most.
You remain my HERO. RIP JPY.
Our hearts are filled with deep sorrow as we learnt you passed away to glory. Deep sorrow indeed this shocking news brought to us! Words can't express the weight of this loss.
But, a gentle smile fills my heart after a flash back of every moment I spent with you. I knew for sure one day, I'll meet you again to share my experiences from the great inspiration you impacted in me. As it stands now, it's not going to be on earth, but in Heaven.
In the face of this grieve, we remain thankful to God for giving us an opportunity to be part of your life and to share memories which are indelibly printed our hearts.
May your gentle soul rest in Perfect Peace Jean Paul...
We wish we could tell you that it was not yet time to let you go.
But you've already departed and our hearts are feeling so low.
We miss that great twinkle that used to light up your eyes.
And we miss the sound of your voice, your laughter and your great thoughts.
But most of all we miss the way you made us feel, like nothing could ever harm us because your concern and convictions were so strong and real.
There are others outside our community who miss you, and they’re in grief today.
Your life touched so many people, many of whom became your friends along the way.
They all want you to know they love you, though they're filled with sadness and grief.
No one really wants to say goodbye, so we'll just wish you eternal peace in the Lords bosom.
ADIEU Big Brother until we meet to part no more.
JPY, you were a great man

Don't think of him as gone away
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.

Revelation 22:17 – Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
Trees that destroy other trees
Trees that nourish other trees to grow
Tress that are parasites on other trees
And trees that simply enhance the life of other trees…
A tree once grew tall and elegant,
Blossoming and basking in God's beautiful light,
Friends and family’s love watered that tree,
But all and sundry harvested of its fruit.
Then it found a crack on the wall and meandered through its narrow space
Following a higher and brighter light
Growing taller and stronger;
It tried to lean back over to the other side,
But found the light on that side was stronger,
On the other side, other trees could not see its apex
And feared that it had died;
But little did they know
The tree was still growing…it just took another turn;
JP is on the other side
But the fruit that he left us will nourish our lives…. for a long time
And the roots of his tree
Will be firmly entrenched in our hearts…for a long, long, time
Yaah
Il y a des hommes qui laissent des marques sur leurs contemporains, tu étais de ceux-là
Il y a des hommes qui inspirent ceux qu'ils croisent durant leur parcours sur terre, tu étais de ceux-là
Il y a des hommes qui imposent le respect, tu étais de ceux-là
Il y a des hommes sincères, dévoués, appliqués, tu étais de ceux-là
Il y a des hommes qui font de l'humanité leur devise, tu étais de ceux-là
Les mots ne suffiront pas pour te décrire. Les mots ne suffront pas pour dire qui tu étais. Tu étais Jean-Paul Yana. Singulier.
Jovial , Energique, Affectueux, Naturel (Jean);
Perséverant, Audacieux, Unique, Lumière (Paul);
Yana, Attachant, Net, Amour (Yana);
Que l'Eternel t'ouvre les voiles célestes.
A dream that could come true,
We would pray to God with all our hearts,
for a today with you.
you left behind our broken hearts,
And happy memories too.
But we do not only want memories,
We also want you JP Y.
RIP as we meet again. Adieu

I'm sylvies sister and you know what it means for me
your loving daughter Jacky from Germany
My last son
Your voice keeps on repeating the story of the birth of my last son which I told you and it amused you. While we were waiting for a meeting to start, I told you I had three boys and my wife got pregnant for the forth time. She and I were expecting to have a baby girl. When she when to visit her Dr., she was told that she was carrying a baby boy. When she came home I asked her what the Dr. said, her response was "what were you expecting"? Today this boy is three years and I remember that you had repeated this statement every month and each time you laughed and tears came out of your eyes. I hope you will keep repeating it and laughing wherever you are. Aurevoir.
