Was truly a good man. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years at Brinks. It was always a pleasure and actually made that job a little more bearable with his great sense of humor and that unique laugh. He made the days a little bit easier even if it was just a brief encounter with him. My prayers go out to his family and his friends. May his family feel comforted knowing that only the best of us get to go where he is now and he is watching over them with that incredible smile only ezra hod. Rest easy my freind.
Thank you ever so much! I truly appreciate you for sharing such wonderful memories.
Ezra, my co-worker for the last 20yrs at Brinks, he was truly a good person, a great dependable co-worker with a great sense of humor, his laughter, his smile, his work ethic will certainly be missed at Brinks. I could not have asked for a better co-worker than my brother Ezra. I pray God’s strength, peace, love, and comfort with his family in their time of mourning. To be absent of the body, is to be present with the most high God. Until we meet again my brother, RIP Ezra!!
Thank you so much for such a beautiful message, I truly appreciate it. Stay blessed.
I met Mr. Mack when I was 10 years old back home in Jamaica, he was very kind and more like a big brother to me, he was a mentor, a role model and a dear friend to me and my family. .Mr. Mack would always accompany me to Parents Teachers conferences throughout my High School days in Jamaica. I never forget his kindness and we would reminisce from time to time about our days in Jamaica. I miss you my friend and the memories we share will live in my heart forever. Psalm 73 :23 My flesh and my heart May fail, but GOD is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. May GOD grant the Comfort, Peace and Love to his Sons, Wife and family, knowing there are no goodbyes. Wherever you’ll be, you’ll be in our hearts forever.
Thank you ever so much for your moving message. Ezra often spoke about you and had nothing but love in his heart for you. Stay blessed.
I knew the goodness, beauty and strength of the wonderful Ezra through the testimonies of my friend Angela, his dearest wife. I know he brought so much joy to those around him and I wish Angela and his extended family my deepest condolences; may you all support eachother at this time, finding joy in the memories you share of Ezra and the legacy he has left. xxx
Lori thank you ever so much for your wonderful message. I truly appreciate it. Blessings always. c
We miss you Grandpa Love your grand kids. Joseph and Jasmine McKenzie.
I first met Ezra at work and we hit it off, Ezra was always that brother who was always joking smiling and happy no matter what, he always told me life was to short to stay mad at anyone, so just like the song says dont worry be happy!!Ezra my brother I miss you, you will always be in my thoughts.
Ezra was a valued Brinks employee who was great at what he did. We could always rely on the fact that whatever Ezra was delivering would always make it to where it was going safe and secure, Everything that he did at work reflected who he was as person. He will be greatly missed by his co-workers as well as the leadership team.
Even though I only knew Ezra for just under 3 years it felt like I knew him forever. He always had a smile on his face when he came to work and would always make you laugh. He will be missed by all who knew him.
I remember when Angela told me that she had met this amazing man. She glowed with happiness and I was soo happy when they married. Angela there are no words to express how I feel for you right now. Hold onto those wonderful years and great memories. Sending all my love x
Praying your strength Angela🙏. Hold on to and cherish those wonderful memories. 💗
My dear uncle Ezra,Very family oriented, always called to see how I am doing, your favourite line to me was pickney don’t you know you suppose to call your uncle? I in return would ask don’t u know you suppose to call your niece ? He would then do his unique chuckle and say well I am calling u now. We would and laugh and chat during the conversation he always ask sowhen last you call your mom or your cousins make sure you call them , at the end of our conversations he would say hey pickney ,make sure you call uncle first follow by his unique laughter. He would text me Bible verses every morning which was very inspiring . I am so happy we had those conversations while you were here with tears roling Down my checks I will cherish those moments in my 💓 forever !! Love and misses you dear uncle Ezra S.I.P
My uncle Ezra was a very family orientated man he would call to check up on his great great grand niece and nephew he was so proud of my daughter Jody and would encourage her to go after her dreams and aspirations. He would send us inspirational text every morning and whenever we talked he would tell he say did you call your cousins reffering to his sons. He would encourage me to go back to school and better myself. He was a very motivational person and I will miss the morning motivational messages we would receive.
Rest in Peace Ezra,
I never had the good fortune of meeting Ezra as I live in London, and never got round to visiting my good friend Ang and her lovely husband. All I know is he must have been a special man, to have captured the heart of my lovely Ang. From the moment they met, I can honestly state that she was glowing with happiness, and could not wait to become his Ezra’s wife. From that day on, I know Angela had never been so happy as he was the most amazing husband, they were so much in love. I am so sorry for your loss Ang, I know you are heart-broken. May all your wonderful memories of your time together, give you some comfort and the strength to get through each day. Sending you and all the family, my love at this most difficult time. Xxx
My condolences to the McKenzie Family. Ezra’s memories will always be cherished.
One day I was in a run with him on the Fed. He was the driver I was in the passenger seat. It was a 3 Hour Drive and I decided to tell him some problems I had at work. I was whining and complaining and he just looked at me and said it’ll be all right. That made me smile and we had a great day. I appreciate the time you had with us and the wisdom that he shared. Thank you God for Blessing us with Ezra.
Ezra, you will truly be missed. Sending my thoughts and prayers to the McKenzie family.
I have known Ezra for approximately 30 years. He has the most pleasant and calm personality I have ever seen and know. Since he migrated he has never failed in checking just to say hi and give a little trouble with that infectious laugh.. I know you are in a better place, but you will always be in my heart. My friend.
My cousin Ezra, always checking up on me. Whenever, he called me he would say hello my favorite brown eye cousin. He never called me by my name 😊. Ezra is more like than a cousin to me, he is like my big brother. My grandmother Adult Brown, always called him her son. When we were all living at my grandmother’s home. Ezra always looking out for me and my boys. He is family oriented. You know, I have never seen my cousin get upset, or use the curse word never. I love him so much ❤️.” Ezra you are gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.” I miss him so much😢I am glad I got the chance to tell him, I love him. Angela, I was happy when Ezra interduce you to me I could see joy and happiness in both of you and how happy Ezra was. You were a good wife to my cousin. Angela, words will not wipe away tears and hugs may not ease the pain. But hold on to your memories because forever they will remain.❤️
I never got to meet Ezra. All I know is that he made my dear friend Angela, his beloved wife, a very happy lady. For that reason alone I know he was a truly wonderful person and the comments here confirm that. May all who loved him find comfort at this sad time. Please reach out and hug, support and comfort my lovely friend Angela as I am too far away to be able to do this. May he rest in peace. xx
I have known Ezra for over 30 years and he is was one of the sweetest persons I know. He is always smiling and you can never tell if he is having a bad day. He was very family orientated and will be truly missed but memories will forever live with us.
Our deepest sympathy to the McKenzie family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ezra will truly missed.
On behalf of the British Ladies of Orlando, Angela please accept our Sympathies to you and your Family at this time. Psalm 147 v.3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
The most deepest and heartfelt sympathy goes out to my dearest friend Angela. It was a great pleasure to have met Ezra this year, the devoted husband you spoke of so highly.
To Ezra words can not explain, taken away too soon, you will be truly missed.
To Angela, The McKenzie family and friends may God give you the strength to celebrate the life of Ezra over the coming days and forevermore Amen.
