The passing of David De Caires will no doubt create a void in the ranks of media managers in the Caribbean Community, according to the Caricom Secretariat.
This “elder statesman” among the corps of media accredited to the CARICOM Secretariat had become a voice in advocacy for candid discourse between the Caribbean political directorates and the public through the intermediary of the media.
His legal training and orientation seemed to draw him inexorably towards a representative posture and role whenever he perceived a situation or development with the potential to constrain the work of the journalism fraternity, the Caricom Secretariat noted in a release.
‘In this role he was well known and his intervention and counsel widely sought and appreciated.”
“The Secretary-General and staff of the CARICOM Secretariat extend sincere condolences to his wife, Doreen, family and relatives,” the release added.
Stabroek News, the newspaper he founded, had reported that Mr DeCaires would have been cremated in Barbados yesterday.
A wake would be held tonight at his Murray Street, Georgetown home.
