Bissessar Harripersad

It is with great sadness that the family of Mr. Bissessar “Mukesh” Harripersad announces his passing on Saturday 1 April 2023 at the age of 58. Mukesh will be lovingly remembered by his wife, his children, his sisters, family and friends. Mukesh was born on the 26 November 1964 in Brickfield Village, Carapichaima in the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to Ramudit and Sukdaye Julal. He was the third of four children and the only boy. He was thus a born protector, and from a very young age, a devoted brother and son and later a devoted husband, uncle and father. He was a true village boy at heart, shy and reserved but hardworking. Life took him to America in search of better opportunity and he eventually made his way down to Florida in 2010 and married Murielle Braure on 5 August, 2012. They became foster parents to Gigi and adopted Rafael in 2017. “Papa” loved all of his children very much and though he was far away from his older daughters, Chrissy and Cherisse who live in Trinidad, they were never far from his mind. Mukesh was a jack of all trades with many jobs but found his calling as an Electrician. He started his dream job as an Electrical Control Technician for the The City of Plantation Utilities in November 2021 after receiving his certification in 2017 as a Journeyman Electrician for Broward County. He was part of completing many big projects while working with C. Davis Electrical Company, such as the Pembroke Pines City Center and the main Terminal for the Brightline Trains. He even went to work in St. Thomas USVI, building the Welcome Terminal for the Royal Caribbean cruise lines in Crown Bay. Mukesh loved his job but in his quiet time enjoyed watching movies. He was not a man of many words, but he was always willing to help and quite knowledgeable in everything house and vehicle related. He spent time at home fixing things that needed to be done and as “Papa” to Gigi and Rafael, he became an exceptional cook. With Murielle, he found a love to travel and had the chance to visit the Virgin Islands, Europe and go on cruises with the family. He was at heart a “Trini” and loved Trinidad. The family was planning a trip there for Christmas 2023. Mukesh will always be loved and forever missed. “Verily, we are God’s, and to Him shall we return” - Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writing of Baha’u’llah, p. 345
