Obituary for Claude E. Seraphin
CLAUDE EUGENE SERAPHIN
September 20, 1978 – May 6, 2022
On May 6, 2022 the warm and energetic spirit of Claude Eugene Séraphin was stolen from this world.
Claude is survived by his son Caiyden Robert Eugene Séraphin of Fort Pierce, FL; son Shawn Miller of Bedford, MA; mother Mimose D. François of Burlington, MA; father Serge Séraphin of Everett, MA; grandmother Christine Berrouet of Burlington, MA; brothers Mikhail A. François and Christian M. M. François of Knoxville, TN; brother Alexis François of Cambridge, MA and his son Alexx; sister Dr. Sally B. Séraphin and brother-in-law Jonathan P. Harwell of West Hartford, CT and their children Edward, Vivienne, and Camille. Claude is also survived by many cousins, uncles, aunts, and friends in a large extended family spanning the globe.
Claude was born in Cambridge, MA where he attended the Peabody and Tobin Elementary Schools as well as Cambridge Rindge & Latin High School. As a teenager he moved to Burlington, MA where he attended Burlington High School. He later attended culinary school at the Cordon Bleu after receiving a GED. He loved to cook, especially for large crowds of friends and family. Claude played defensive end in a semi-professional football league and was a huge Celtics and Patriots fan. He enjoyed travelling around the US and abroad, going as far as England and Denmark.
Claude never met a stranger. His big and charming personality commanded everyone’s attention. He was a trusting and generous friend to people from all walks of life. As a loving father, devoted son, and caring sibling he was unconditionally loved and admired by his family.
He is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather Eugene François, paternal grandparents Sulfica J. “Tika” Césaire and Emile Séraphin; and great grandparents Amentha August and Jean-Baptiste Berrouet.
Visitation will be held on Friday, May 13 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Keefe Funeral Home (2175 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02140). A funeral mass will be held on Saturday May 14th, at 10:00 a.m., at Saint Peter Church (100 Concord Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138). This will be followed by burial in Cambridge Cemetery.
