Fritzner Cenatus, affectionately known to many as Fritz, Fito, Nènè, and Big Daddy, passed away on March 22, 2025, in Kissimmee, Florida. Born on October 24, 1938, in Arcahaie Haiti. Fritz lived a life rich in love, resilience, and community, marking his presence in the lives of those fortunate enough to know him.
Fritz dedicated many years of his career to CSR Rinker/Cemex, where he worked diligently before retiring in 2006. His professional journey was not just a job, but a testament to his strong work ethic and determination. Beyond his career, he enjoyed a multitude of interests that reflected his vibrant personality. A devoted member of the YMCA, Fritz was known for his active lifestyle, often found at the gym or engaging in activities that brought joy to himself and others. He also had a penchant for socializing, appreciating old school music, and keeping up with WWE, which brought him much delight.
At the heart of Fritz’s life were his family and friends. He is lovingly survived by his wife, Berthe Lange Cenatus, with whom he shared 50 cherished years and their children, Angie and Fritzie. In addition, Fritzner was the patriarch to his children, adopted children, and grandchildren, who include Jacqueline, Brian, Chad, Ana, Khalya, Nzinga, Cory, Elena, Ralph, Khyleen, Alton, Lila, Angela, Jamie, Hatshepsut, and Christian. Fritz’s bond with his family was strong; he often enjoyed spending quality time together, reinforcing the values of love and togetherness.
Among his community, Fritz is remembered fondly by all of his children including Stevenson Exantus, Arnoux Abraham, Anthony Miller, Don Smith, Paula Lubin, and Ann M Angrand. Each of these relationships added a unique thread to the fabric of his life, contributing to the richness of his experiences.
Fritz was preceded in death by his parents, along with beloved granddaughter Angeline and other dear family members. His legacy of warmth, kindness, and laughter will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.....
