To his family and the family of Empire Cricket Club, that more than a century old oasis on Bank Hall where his heart was sustained for decades, I express deepest condolences.

On behalf of the Government and people of Barbados, I salute Sir Everton as a true representation of the Barbadian can-do spirit; as a perfect example of perseverance over adversity; the embodiment of what our country requires today to beat back the bouncers of COVID-19, climate change and the economic inequality that we face day after day from rich and powerful nations. To his family and the family of Empire Cricket Club, that more than a century old oasis on Bank Hall where his heart was sustained for decades, I express deepest condolences.

My heart is heavy and spirit dampened after learning of the passing of . He lived an highly regaled, cricket record making life filled with dignity, regional honor and global sports impact.

On behalf of the members and leadership of the St. Kitts Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP), I express heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to his family, friends, supporters and fans…

Beyond tears and sorrow, we celebrate an iconic legend known fondly for being one of the Three W’s Walcott, Worrell and Weekes. He was part of the team that delivered a groundbreaking Test victory in 1950.

An exemplary grandfather, father, mentor, commentator, first class batsman and man of integrity is gone but his legacy will live on in our hearts for generations to come.

He scored far more off the cricket field in grace, guts and generosity than the 4, 445 runs, in 48 Tests with an average of 56.61 that he made for West Indies Cricket.

I celebrate this great Bajan brother and outstanding Caribbean superstar!

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
