Jacques passed away in 2017 after a long fight with multiple myeloma. He was a caring husband, father, and standout member of his community. He was also a devoted and exceptional educator who put his heart into his work, and who helped Extra Ed in its early days.
Jacques made a big difference in the lives he touched, and was an inspiration to the many people that surrounded him. He was just one of those people that cared.
His selfless devotion to making our financial literacy programs the best they could be inspired us to name our scholarship fund after him. His wish was to see that this fund be devoted to schools and communities who could not otherwise afford our programs, something that says so much about his genuine desire to make a difference.
Jacques may have been taken from us too soon, but his spirit lives on through this fund.
