Minister responsible for Sports Hon. Ron Redhead, and staff are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Sports Officer and colleague, Findley Fletcher.
Fletcher who is from St Mark, passed away on Sunday, 16 July 2023, while performing duties as a referee in a football match in his home parish.
Coordinator of Sports Kerlon Peters described Fletcher as a hardworking and dedicated Sports Officer who always went the extra mile to support the programmes of the Department of Sports, and the success of the Parish Sporting Programme in St Mark and throughout Grenada.
He was indeed an all-rounder who gave more than 20 years of service to the Government and People of Grenada.
Some of his noted achievements include, but are not limited to:
- Assisting in coordinating the Windward Islands’ Secondary Schools Games, held from 23 – 30 July 2016
- Acted as the Senior Football Coach from 7 September 2015 – 17 January 2016 and 1 April 2016 – 4 December 2016 in the absence of Alister Debellotte, former Senior Football Coach
- Coordinated the Republic Bank Right Start Youth Football Cup from 6 October 2016 – 7 November 2016
Additionally, he was a Basketball and Football Referee, a member of the Grenada Starters Association, and one of the Starters at Track & Field meets.
Grenada has lost a sports stalwart. Our condolences to his family, friends, and the sporting fraternity of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique.
May his soul rest in peace.
