Sir Keithlyn Smith
Sir Keithlyn, in keeping with his life’s purpose transitioned on July 31, 2020, on Watch Night, 186 years after that very first Watch Night in Antigua, on July 31, 1834 when soon to be former slaves stayed awake all night into August 1, 1834 to “watch” the dawn of their emancipation.
Sir Keithlyn Smith was born in March 1938. He was a one-and-a-half-year-old baby when World War II started in September 1939.
Many of the hardships experienced by Caribbean citizens as a result of the war was never documented in any history books that we read, however, Sir Keithlyn lived it as a child. New to the world, during World War II, he had a remarkable recall of life in his early beginnings when poverty was the law of the land.
He was raised in a world where the scars and markings of World War II left an indelible impression on him. The stark reality of poverty and scarce resources during his childhood remained with him for his entire life. He viewed poverty as a scourge of the human race, to be eradicated. He was raised on high principles of hard work and sacrifice and altruism. Sir Keithlyn was born to serve and serve he did in many capacities. He faced life head on for as long as he could and bore the mantle of his responsibilities and life’s mission with a strength almost unknown today.

“If we do not do something to help someone when we can,
if we do not work hard to lay a good foundation for the common generation, all tenure in this life would be useless. And I believe that would be the worst thing to happen to any of God’s children.”
– Samuel “Papa Sammy” Smith
