Kwebetchou was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and most recently lived in Baltimore County near Rosedale. He leaves behind a legacy of an "inspiring attitude" and "love for adventure," according to his obituary, which stated: "Whether you met Jaime on an airplane, through the Air Force, or through many of the neighborhoods he’s lived in...his quick wit, general knowledge, and his ability to genuinely listen to understand (without judgement and positive energy) will forever live on in each of us."

He is survived by his mother Ghislaine Kwebetchou, father Hubert Kwebetchou, sisters Jessica Kwebetchou and Nadine Kwebetchou and other relatives, his obituary stated.
