CONDOLENCES IN ANOTHER STARTLING LOSS FOR TURKS & CAICOS

#TurksandCaicos, January 15, 2023 – Hours ago, this was posted as social media questions and comments were alight with disbelief, shock and reports on the sudden passing of beloved pastor, preacher, father, friend and community man, Rev. Wayde Coleby of Healing Waters Ministries.

In a demonstration of his transcending reach and virtue, Hon Philip Davis, Bahamas Prime Minister made this known to his cabinet colleague, who tonight lost her father, Rev. Coleby.

“With profound sadness, my wife, Ann Marie, and I extend our deepest condolences to the Honourable Jobeth Coleby-Davis, Minister of Transport and Energy, and her family on the passing of her father, Mr. Wayde Coleby.
Mr. Coleby was a respected member of our community, known for his dedication to family and his unwavering strength of character.  His legacy is one of integrity and love, qualities that he instilled in his daughter, who continues to serve our nation with distinction.

In these moments of grief, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the bonds that tie us together as a people.  Mr. Coleby’s life was a testament to the enduring values of family, hard work, and commitment to one’s community.  His passing is not only a loss to his family but also to all who knew him.

As a nation, we share in the sorrow of the Coleby family.  We pray that they find comfort and strength during this difficult time.  May the memories of Mr. Coleby’s kindness and his enduring spirit provide solace to all who mourn his loss.

In this time of bereavement, we stand together in offering our heartfelt sympathy.  May Mr. Wayde Coleby rest in peace, and may his family be comforted by the outpouring of love and support from all corners of our nation.”

On social media, expressions of Coleby’s love for his children and theirs for him.  Often with a radiant smile, perhaps on his bicycle, maybe dancing to native renditions of the Gospel or offering his perspective on what we can each do to contribute to developing personal and national Christian character – there is no mistaking the unbridled love and admiration for this now fallen soldier.

Magnetic Media joins the chorus of people from around the globe who are saddened by this news, devastated by this loss and in need of prayers in support as we offer deepest condolences to his immediate, church and community families.
