    Sean was a really talented guy. He was a real MacGyver; he could repair anything. He was also a really nice and loving guy too. It breaks our hearts to lose you. We will surely miss you Sean. Gone too soon.
    Rest in Peace, dude.

    What can I say. Yet another motorcyclist dies while riding his bike. We have too many accidents like this and too be honest we can all say that they should take greater care but our authorities, especially the police could be more proactive in taking measures to reduce this terrible toll. What is their function, what are they paid for if they can not do this? It is too late for Shawn but we can do more for the others and protect them, not infrequent from themselves.

    My condolences to the Durand family, may the good Lord shower them with peace beyond measure. However, DNO the area is called William and not Shyan. Shyan is name of the shop owner. I made that mistake also until I was told
    Otherwise.

    ADMIN: Thank you for pointing that out. The article has been updated.

    Everytime someone dies I wonder if they ever lived for God, because after death that’s it..all that matters is what was done for God’s glory, whether we accepted Jesus or not. No one knows but he is already gone into eternity to late to turn back. no prayers can save his soul if he never accepted God. Condolences to family and friends accept Jesus before it is too late.

    A lot of Dominica young men died in bike accidents. I believe the authorities in Dominica have to figure out a solution with those bikes there.

    Deepest condolences to his family.
    Did he hit one of those huge potholes in the road in that area ?
    Those holes are dangerous and need immediate repairs.
