Young Jamaica, the youth arm of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), says Jamaica has lost a stalwart with the passing of the party's councillor-caretaker Omar Francis.
Francis was killed in a car crash this morning in Byles district in Kitson Town in St Catherine.
Francis, who was alone in the vehicle, was reportedly on his way home when he lost control of the SUV he was driving and crashed into a concrete structure along the side of the road.
Young Jamaica describes Francis as a remarkable man who devoted his life to service and to his countrymen and women.
“Omar's work and contribution to the development of both the political and national landscape stands as a testament to his impact and influence on the development of the lives of the Jamaican people and his constituents,” said a spokesperson in a statement today.
“His inspirational eloquence and kind-hearted human warmth will be remembered,” the spokesperson continued.
The organisation says his legacy will forever be cherished.
