On behalf of the Ministry of Home Affairs as well as the Honourable representative for Grand Turk North, I hereby join Her Excellency the Governor, the Hon. Premier, and other members of Government in extending my very heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and community of Grand Turk at large, on the untimely and the unfortunate passing of one of our nation’s youth over the past weekend during the National Youth Day Celebrations on Grand Turk.
The death of this young man has left the community, members of family, friends, and I completely stunned with shock and sadness. Our hearts are in grief for the bereaved families today and in the days to come.
Many families have suffered loss of some kind with this incident. The lives of many young people have been impacted; those who may have witnessed the incident and now are traumatized, those who may have participated and now must face the consequences of their actions, and those families who are wondering with concern, in the wake of this tragic event, about the future of our young people.
My dear fellow Turks and Caicos Islanders, let us not get weary in praying for our young men and women, and in doing all we can to shape a positive path for them, giving guidance and counsel whenever and wherever we can.
Again, let me express my deepest condolences at the death of another of our young men. I join with our nation in praying that our Lord and Savior’s love supports and strengthens the young gentleman’s entire family and friends. May the good Lord’s peace be with us all and may he comfort those who are left to mourn his passing.
May his soul rest in peace and rise in eternal glory.
