“His sudden departure is an emotional shock to those who knew and appreciated him.
He was a recognized personality in Saint-Martin, an early friend to many of us. We were from the same generation, we grew up on this island that we love so much, shared experiences and highlights over the years. The passion for sport and politics united us. I am grateful today to have shared these privileged moments with a man of values who wanted the good of his island and his community. Didier was a native of the country, appreciated for his cheerful and dynamic personality and his great kindness. He was a distinguished sportsman, passionate about cycling, he invested in his native island by participating in competitions for the pleasure of sport and sharing. Didier was also an accomplished entrepreneur, a Saint-Martin figure, he was respected in the profession for his professionalism and his innovative ideas. A member of the BTP association for several years, he contributed to the reflections on the future of our territory and mobilized for the development of Saint-Martin. His disappearance is a blow, a great loss for our island. The Collectivity of Saint-Martin is grateful for his career and for the man he was for his territory. My thoughts are with his immediate family and friends today. I share their immense sorrow and send them all my comfort. On behalf of the elected representatives of the Territorial Council of Saint-Martin, in my own name and that of my family, I send my deepest condolences to Didier's family and loved ones. We extend our sincere support and compassion to them in overcoming this painful ordeal. "
