Mr. Fletcher who is from St Mark, passed away on Sunday, July 16, 2023, while performing duties as a referee in a football match in his home parish.

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 Petit Martinique.

May his soul rest in peace.
