Juland began his life on September 15, 2004 in  Ansonia, Connecticut. He was the youngest of four children born to Yvrose Lafortune and Julnor Lafortune. Juland was a beautiful soul taken away from us at just the age of 16. Juland attended Seven Day Adventist Reform Movement church frequently with his mother and siblings and was always respectful. A warm smile always accompanied his interactions with others. His mother, Yvrose Lafortune, had been raising her children as a single mother. Juland’s bond with his family was a special one. Everyone who met him was touched by his warm soul.

On the football field, he was a running back and cornerback and made the all district team! He was a great child and commended by his coach for being raised well.
