UPDATE: Teacher dies after accident on Bayfront

Kent Pemberton * Photo credit: Facebook

Teachers and students of the Pierre Charles Secondary School in Grand Bay are now mourning the death of auto mechanics teacher Eustace Kent Pemberton who died of injuries sustained in an accident this morning.

Police Public Relations Officer Inspector Claude Weekes reported that about 7:20 a.m this morning Pemberton was riding his motorcycle PM803 in a southerly direction along the Dame Eugenia Charles Boulevard while Mitsubishi truck TB898 driven by Antoine Defoe, 34, of Tete Morne, was moving in a northerly direction when the collision occurred .

“Upon impact, Pemberton fell off his bike landing on the eastern side of King Gorge V Street. He sustained serious injuries. He was transported to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Princess Margaret Hospital where he was being treated by the doctor. While being attended to he succumbed. He was officially pronounced dead by Dr. Garvin Seaman,” he said.

Weekes said the motorcycle was extensively damaged while the damage to the truck was minor.

The truck driver who escaped unscathed is assisting the police with their investigations.

Meanwhile most of the students at the Pierre Charles Secondary School have been sent home for the day and government officials are on the grounds with the remaining students providing counseling and helping them come to terms with the loss of their teacher.

Pemberton is described as an energetic young man and full of life. One friend said he was someone who understood happiness and how to make others happy and that bike was his love, perhaps a symbol of his strong will and dogged determination.

    May I just say what a relief to find someone that actually understands what they are talking about on the
    internet. You actually understand how to bring an issue
    to light and make it important. A lot more people ought to check this out and understand this side of your story.
    I can’t believe you aren’t more popular given that you certainly possess the gift.

    ok… It finally set in that you’ve passed on. Especially having spoken to you the night before. We were supposed to meet to discuss the sabbath, something – we were both looking forward to. I was supposed to do my research to show you how wrong you were. :) Now there’s no chance. :(

    Wow, I’ll miss you. It hurts so bad. Can’t stop crying.

    From God we come and to Him we must return.

    It is unfortunate he is unavailable to see the wonderful comments people wrote about him. This should allow us to remember that we all have to go and we will have no idea what people will say about us. Be good to others, learn to give people their roses and bouquet while they are alive. Stop gossip and slander, it is dangerous to one’s spirituality.

    Everytime something happen….Is God…Is God…what f**** God. the police need to do their work and ticket them a**hole drivers…..De man Was a deadly rider….riding from god knows when….Dem man have no discipline on the road…..I should be a police….I would ticket all them f**ks…a truck, I bet it was an old piece of s**t truck. Hell man….We lost a good dude, to a piece of s**t truck. I bet the truck driver is not going to jail for manslaughter. Man Man….Dominica law inforcement is a freaking joke….a big joke.

      Were you a witness to what happened that day? Do you even know who was in the wrong? This is what I don’t understand. I’ve been seeing blasting the driver on FB and I just have to SMH because none of your were there that day to see what happened. Can we let the reports come out on who was wrong that day? We don’t know if it was the truck driver and unfortunately, we don’t know if it was the person on the bike. People will always pass judgment, but at least have the decency and not use that foul language during this time of loss and grief.

      Remember one day is that same God you will call onto. But the funny thing is that he will remmeber you and forgive you. It was an accident and no one in this life could prevent it. This is how he had to go whether you like it or not. We are all saden by this but you can express your displease without using such profanity.

    I couldn’t believ it was you who passed away when I saw the pic of the accident. The one thing I will always remember is your smile. You were always so jovial and helpful .I remember those college days when we were collaborating with sifocol and technical to have mor esocial events. You were always at the meetings and helped planned so many events that made us more of a cohesive college. Every time I was home and I saw you you would always say hello and chat for a little while. Though you are gone your memories will live on forever. This is a journey we all have to go through but I guess God was ready for you since he knew how special you were. May the good Lord bless you and may your soul rest in peace…

    I’m in a state of shock. Can’t believe that someone so kind, friendly, helpful, considerate, careful, jovial, caring, god fearing, responsible, open person could be taken from us so senselessly. Life is really unpredictable. I’ve known Pembo for most of my life and I know he was the kind of person everyone wanted to be around. Pembo was loved by many and he will never be forgotten. You will be missed y all who knew you. Many tears are being shed, but one day we will see you again.

    There are no words that can be said to bring him back but to his family I say Remember that God is with you no matter what you are going through he feels your pain. Trust in Him and He’ll help you through.

    R.I.P Pemby. You were truly loved and will be greatly missed

    Life is so uncertain. Hearing about the news brought back so many flashbacks and memories. It’s so sad that you had to go this way. But the Lord knows best. The last time I was in DA I saw you, chilled and talked for a little while. I remember you holding your helmet. Now you’re gone. May your soul rest in peace my brother. To his family, relatives, friends, colleagues, and students, my deepest condolences. Friends, let us use these moments to look at our lives, and to reflect on what is eternal. Let us not take these things for granted. Tell those you love that you love them, and mean it. We just never know when we will say goodbye for the last time. We just know that we have to ensure that we are ready. God bless. RIP KENT!

    Kent,Pembo,Kensington,my boy,i still in tears,shocked n shaken by ur passing. Worked together about 3yrs Astaphans from 2001 n been friends ever since,had or differencies mechanically at times bt always came together in d end. One of very few ppl,with continious positivity n conciousness n pure hearted,always willing to help,listen,reason or talk shit. Did some cross country riding wit u too,loved it,bike was old skool bt fast,always cautious. Dreadin the fact dat im not even home to ride 4 u or with u one last time,remember u comin check me home 4 us to ride 4 Wayne Bully funeral when no one else wanted to,we reved our engines while he was lowered cuz dat wat we do,friends,bikers,now i dreading i not even home to do it 4 u,or to wear d suit u gave me to ur funeral(wanted a suit to go a wedding d man just gave me a 3 piece suit). We have lost an icon,a prince,a motivator,an inspirator,a teacher,an advisor,a comedian,a family man n most importantly A FRIEND. Jah bless,as we always said better u die doing wat u luv,than die doing nothing at all. R.I.P bro,u will 4 ever b missed.

You just got accepted a few days ago and now im laying in bed balling my eyes out…I dont understand. The good thing is you touch everybody in a positive way and we will never forget you, NEVER.

    I couldnt believe my eyes when I went on DNO website earlier today and read the Headline and saw your picture. My heart sank and I sat there in total shock. I felt so sorry Pembo man…Seeing your pic brought back instant memories of when we worked together at Auto Trade some years back; what a wicked mehanic you were then and still is…always coming out from the garage or beneath a vehicle with your hands pitch-black dirty and walking out like a boxer.lol… But most importantly always had time to chat and reason with someone – very humbly. I remember always bouncing into you somewhere whenever I come home on vacation and we would stop and have a 10-15 mins chat and reason bro. You were liked by many….R.I.P Pembo. Your memory will linger in my mind and you’ll surely be missed. My prayer and thoughts are with you family, friends, colleagues and pupil. I pray that they will hold firm and take courage in this difficult time.

    Learning about Pembo’s death:

    What moves through me right now is some silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more smile. We may not understand why Pembo left this earth so soon, or why he left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, I began to remember not just that he died, but that he lived.

    Pembo to many who knew him, his life left us memories too beautiful to forget.

    He was indeed a people’s person. Someone you could talk and laugh with. His life was a very simple
    one. His bike was his gold mine, and his heart was pure as gold. Rest in Peace my friend, and to his immediate family, my heartfelt condolences.

    Pembo was a very jovial and easy-going young man. He will surely be missed by his friends and loved ones. He was a safe and responsible rider on the road. Death doesn’t have face, race, or age we just have to be prepared. He is now with his maker and I’m sure he is smiling down on us. The village of Trafalgar has been shaken with 4 deaths in a matter of days. May God be with us all as we go through this tragic moment . RIP Kent

    I can identify myself with the statement “he was someone who understood happiness and how to make others happy.” Pembo was indeed a very kind hearted person who was understanding and beleived in the simplicity of this life. Though his life was made short let’s all remember the good that he brought to us all- either by debating on interesitng topic, helping a friend in time of need or by just saying funny little things to put a smile of our faces.

    RIP bro. ur life will be celebrated.

    Sad but true. Always properly attired, never fast. He was like my timepiece. Always punctual and always passed him on the road as we go in opposite directions. The truck belonged to a Sout man, was driven by a Sout man and strucked a man who worked in the Sout. How sad. My prayers are will all; including the Teachers and Staff at Pierre Charles Secondary.

    Lost for words, no one knows why, no one knows when, our time comes unexpectedly sometimes, and it leaves a deep loss…no more “Bernie” from my friend “Pembo”, very difficult to deal with but God knows best and we trust in His leading. To mother, sister other family and friends, through the pain hold on to God. Over and over he would say Bernie I am careful on the road… it was his ambition to set up a riding school where he could teach persons how to ride carefully, what happened and why?… I believe Pembo we will meet again.
