Death of Christian Chéron

Christian Chéron died during the night of Monday, May 5 to Tuesday, May 6 in Aix-en-Provence. Aged 73, he lived in Saint-Barthélemy for many years. "He was a very helpful man who loved Saint-Barthélemy," said Bruno Magras, honorary president of the Territorial Collectivity. Christian Chéron spent his life serving his contemporaries and France. "Passionate about mathematics and card games (bridge, tarot, belote), he was also known and appreciated on the island for his passions," recalls former senator Michel Magras, who adds, paying tribute to the man who shared his morning coffee at Le Repaire and Le Petit Deauville in Gustavia as a faithful companion: "He enjoyed helping young people by teaching them techniques and methods for succeeding in math. His tall stature and natural charisma seemed to make him an unshakeable figure." A just, sincere and very discreet man, his strong, deep voice and his rigor barely concealed a sensitive soul and human values ??deeply rooted in the education received from his parents. His mother was his role model. His life as a couple with Chantal was exemplary. He knew how to suffer in silence until the last day without ever complaining. " Michel Magras evokes "a friend, a brother, a guide, a faithful support, a model" but also "a financial agent" during his political life. Christian Chéron did not hesitate to get involved in the life of the city. As when he took on the role of census coordinator at the end of 2022. "We will never forget you," concludes Michel Magras.
