Fabiola Bittar de Kroon, 34, dropped her only daughter off at daycare and was going about her normal routine when she lost her life on Thursday, September 29, 2016 in Hoboken, NJ. Rahman Perkins tells reporters when people were running out the train station he ran inside because his parents “raised brave kids.” When he arrived inside, de Kroon was bleeding to death. She was hurt by the fallen debris and wreckage, resulting from the incoming train slamming into the wall.
“I told her, ‘Just breathe, focus on your family, focus on your loved ones’,” he told NBC4 New York. “I told her, ‘I’m here, I’m not going to leave you’.”
“She fought. She really did her best,” said Perkins, 29.
The college student tried to rescue her, but he could only provide comfort before she took her last breath. “I saw that beauty in her. I saw that peace,’ he said. ‘I want (de Kroon’s family) to know she was that same person, she wasn’t mangled, she wasn’t all over the place, she was just there and unfortunately she didn’t make it,” he told ABC.
Later in the day, Perkins went to the hospital to check on de Kroon and found out she passed away.
Perkins is a native of East Orange, New Jersey. According to his profile on Model Mayhem, he is 6 foot 2 inches tall. An athlete at the time the profile was posted, a football player. Perkins enjoys the following: acting, fashion, fitness, lifestyle, promotional modeling, runway and sports.
According to entertainment site getwriteentertainment.com, “Perkins is ready to make his mark in the world of theater… Having been involved in theatrical productions as a child, Rahman has chosen to return to the stage as an adult and continue to use the gift God has blessed him with… As a semi pro football player it is fitting that Rahman will be playing the brash and cocky wide receiver Kevin Thorpe in this production.. With an enduring faith and his firm conviction that he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him, Rahman is destined for greatness.”
Sorry, ladies. This hero is taken by Avante Perkins.
