Kurvon Wade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Family, friends, and loved ones turned out in large numbers last night, for a candlelight vigil under the Canefield cliff, where 21-year-old Kurvon Wade of Fond Cole lost his life during a motorcycle collision in that area earlier this week. Wade was described as a young man with endearing qualities who will be missed by many who knew him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was caring, loving, and helpful and his life was cut short,\u201d a close friend of Wade told Dominica News Online(DNO). \u201cWe have been friends for many years and I consider him as a true brother. When I heard the news about his death I cried and asked God why?\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI still can\u2019t believe he is gone. Fond Cole has lost another young man and this is so sad. My heart goes out to his family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a family member who chose to remain anonymous remarked, \u201cit has been a very emotional time for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Kurvon had a bright future ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first received the news my heart started racing,\u201d he lamented. \u201cWe were tight. He visited me almost every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI am still in disbelief\u2026it\u2019s like I am dreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to previous reports from Police Inspector Fixton Henderson, on Monday, May 20, 2024, at about 12:15 AM a Yamaha TMAX motorcycle ridden by Kurvon Wade, male, 21 years old of Fond Cole was traveling in a northerly direction under the Canefield cliff, while another Yamaha TMAX motorcycle ridden by Flint Harry, male adult of Salisbury, and pillion rider Jameson Defoe, 30-year-old male of St Joseph, was traveling in the opposite direction when the two motorcycles collided head-on.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll riders received serious injuries and were transported to the emergency department of the Dominica-China Friendship Hospital via ambulance,\u201d Henderson said.<\/p>\n

Wade and Defoe were examined and pronounced dead by a medical doctor.<\/p>\n

Harry remains in critical condition at the hospital.<\/p>\n
