LONG BUSH, Tortola, VI- Legislators, members of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP), members of the Lions Club of Tortola, family and friends gathered at the graveside of the late former legislator Mr Carvin Malone on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, the day that he would have been celebrating his 65th birthday.

Mr Malone, who died on January 14, 2024, served as the Minister for Health and Social Development (2019-2022) during one of the most difficult times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. He was also a VIP Member and was its long-time President, before entering elective office.

Among those gathered at graveside were Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7), Minister for Communications and Works Hon Kye M. Rymer (R5), Minister for Health and Social Development Hon Vincent O. Wheatley (R9), Junior Minister for Culture and Tourism Hon Luce D. Hodge-Smith (R4), Junior Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries Dr the Hon Karl Dawson (R1) and Opposition Member Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8).

Pledge made to carry on Carvin’s ‘rich legacy’

According to Carvin’s brother, Mr Kedrick E. Malone, on a social media post, everyone pledged to carry on his rich legacy in the various arenas where he left his mark.

“We all agreed that it will take all of us working together to fill his shoes. He has left a void that only time can heal. So on we go!” Mr Malone stated.

The late Mr Malone was defeated in the 2023 General Elections in his bid for a second term, however, remained very active in educating the public on topical issues with his One Virgin Islands Agenda platform.

He was late to rest at the Road Town Methodist Church Cemetery on February 2, 2024, following an official funeral at Multi-Purpose Sports Complex.

      People family have a right to do what they wish to their relatives. Nothing better than having a good relationship when one is alive when they die yes memories but they do not go away. Remember to treat yours right that you would have no need of regrets.

      I will always Remember family members who have left a mark in my life. Special days and ocasions will not be forgotten. We are no island by our selves we need each other no matter how difficult it gets in life.

    You all should have shown appreciation for the man while he was still alive. The rest of this is just a show.

    A better plan would have been to take his widow a bouquet or fruit basket. Care for the living. We can’t do anything for the decease.

    Just a big show, let people have their flowers while they are alive. For the dead knows not anything, in that very day their thoughts perish.
