Enoch Dorvil

Enoch “Aton” Dorvil was born on January 24, 1949 in the beautiful island of Haiti, the Pearl of the Antilles, to his parents Emile and Eulogia Dorvil. He was the fourth of nine close knit siblings. In 1968 he made the brave decision to make a new life in the United States following his oldest sister Maud. He settled into the hustle and bustle of New York. A year later he sent for his future wife Marie to join him in America from Haiti and two years later, in December of 1971 they were married. They welcomed their first child, a son affectionately known as Alex in 1972 and three years later a daughter would follow lovingly nicknamed Claudy.

In his years in America, Enoch attended college, worked as a chef for Chase Manhattan Bank, a taxi driver in New York and a driver for the Louise Graham Regeneration Center for disabled adults in St. Petersburg Florida which was an organization very close to his heart. Petit Manman Mari was also a religious organization that meant a lot to him in his later years.

A poetic, musical and romantic soul, Enoch had a passion for writing. He had a strong affinity for humanitarian concerns and philosophical discussions as well as spiritual matters. The topic of political discussions and work was often heard flowing from his lips as it was also one of his lifelong interests.

I Have a Dream, a song to sing To help me cope, with anything If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale You can take the future, even if you fail

I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream – I Have a Dream by ABBA

In 2023, Enoch and Marie moved to West Palm Beach Florida to live out the rest of their lives. Enoch slipped away quietly at home with Marie close by his side on June 7, 2025. He is survived by his devoted and loving wife Marie Dorvil, his dedicated children, Robert and Claudinette Dorvil, his cherished grandchildren Eric and Josephine Duplessy and his son-in-love Duplesse Duplessy. Enoch will forever be in the hearts of his loving siblings Joseph, Mimose, Jean, Marcelina, and Helene and a multitude of cousins, nieces, nephews and loved ones.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated by Rev. Andrew Brierley at 10:00 AM on Monday, June 16, 2025 at St. Luke Catholic Church, 2892 South Congress Avenue, Palm Springs, Florida. Entombment will follow at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Cemetery in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.

We will treasure the memories and be forever grateful that we were able to be close until the very end. We pray your soul is at peace and at one with God surrounded and enveloped by His light and love.

Love you poppy Aton. Until we meet again…
