His name was Marquise Alexander Braham. We named him Marquise because we knew he’d be beautiful and strong like the marquise diamond. Alexander, because we knew he was destined to be great. Marquise was born on Easter Sunday, and God was always an integral part of his life. He was our firstborn, and was just a decent, kind and loving person since childhood.

He was a fantastic big brother to his younger siblings, Selene and Sebastien. He set such a great example of how to work hard, play hard and most of all, have fun. We were so proud of him.
