Etson Faustin

Etson Faustin was a Haitian-born Orlando resident, husband, father of three young sons, and the owner/operator of a small towing and transport business. In the Central Florida community he called home, Faustin was known to neighbors and customers as someone willing to help — whether assisting stranded drivers or running a business that served local residents. Public records list Faustin as the registered agent and authorized person for a transportation company in Orlando, confirming his role as a small-business owner in the area.

Family members and community members remembered him at a public funeral service held in the weeks after his death; people who knew him described him as a regular at neighborhood restaurants and a man who worked hard to provide for his family. His connection to community life extended beyond work: he frequented local businesses and was recognized by restaurant owners and patrons who spoke after his death.

While the circumstances of his death were investigated by law enforcement, the central and enduring fact is that Faustin was a living person whose daily efforts mattered to a wife and three children and to the customers and neighbors who relied on his work. Public probate filings confirm his death date as December 30, 2022, and reflect the family's need to manage his estate after his passing.

Etson’s life — as a father raising three boys, a husband, an immigrant who built a business, and a neighbor who would stop to help someone in need — is what family and community members ask be remembered. His passing left a tangible loss for those who knew him best; the memory of his care, work ethic, and the practical ways he supported others remain the fitting way to honor him.
