He loved the Lord and, working in Petit-Goave with Pastor Gabbi and Pastor Depestre as a circuit preacher, he preached the gospel in many different regions of Haiti, oftentimes under hardship conditions. He eventually immigrated to U.S. in March 1979, where he continued to preach the gospel and served as a deacon at St Marc United Methodist Haitian Church. Later, He returned to Haiti to continue spreading the Gospel to his home community in LaColline in collaboration with his Son Joseph Neel. In his youth, Joseph Naissance Pluviose was a hardworking young man who had learned many trades while doing the Lord’s work in Haiti. He was a man of agriculture, growing coffee, corn, beans, etc., and raising horses, cows, pigs, and goats. Although not a trained medical doctor, he received training as a first aid worker and performed wound treatment (even amputations). He assisted in various first aid care rescues and did house visits to the sick. He was a community organizer, working on road construction with volunteer workers. Joseph was a champion for education and literacy: he not only invested in his own children’s education, but he also encouraged young people in the countryside of LaColline to go to school. In his older age, he went back to Haiti and helped in the construction of a school for the underprivileged. Joseph was a quick learner. He taught himself how to play the keyboard and enjoyed praising God at any time, even if he was alone. He liked cooking, especially during Thanksgiving Day when he would bake the turkey. He used to make the best vegetable Lasagna. He was skilled in crocheting and enjoyed making blankets for his children and grandchildren. He also liked to sing, dance, and read his Bible. He was a fervent prayer warrior and devoted servant of the Lord. In every season of his life, no matter the circumstance, he was always praying and reading his bible. He had a great sense of humor, was slow to anger, very wise, family oriented and a great storyteller. You could learn a lot just by listening to him. Joseph passed away on the morning of July 21, 2025, surrounded by his children and grandchildren at the Ohio State University Hospice unit. He will be remembered as a great man, a man of honor, a man of faith, and a man of integrity. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
