Paying our Respects to the late Prime Minister of Barbados - Right Honorable David Thompson dead at 48 of Pancreatic Cancer

We are aware at Platinum International Real Estate's blog site we normally cover real estate and social events in Belize. Today however we would certainly like to pay or respects to the late Prime Minister of Barbados, The Right Honorable David Thompson.

The Right Honorable David Thompson passed away at 2:10 am at his private residence in Mapps, St Phillip, with his family by his side.
He leaves to mourn the entire nation of Barbados, along with his wife Mara and three daughters – Mischa, Oya and Osa-Marie. He is also survived by mother Margaret Knight and father Charles Thompson.


According to "The Root" The Prime Minister of Barbados, The Right Honorable David Thompson had been ill since March and traveled to New York several times for treatment. He had declined to discuss his health condition until last month, when his private doctor announced that Thompson had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy.


In an address to the nation of Barbados last month, Thompson said he was reshuffling his Cabinet to pass many of his responsibilities to other ministers. He said he chose to speak by radio instead of going on camera so islanders would focus on his message, not his appearance.

May You Rest in Peace knowing you have the support of the entire nation of Barbados.
Platinum International Real Estate would love to pay its Respects to You, The Prime Minister of Barbados, The Right Honorable David Thompson and leader of a Caribbean Nation. We send our respects from the Nation of Belize.
