Bajans pay respects to Warren Mottley

The close-knit Mottley family, friends and loved ones this evening paid tribute to Warren Mottley, the brother of Prime Minister Mia Mottley who died on June 29.

Scores formed a winding queue at the Queen’s Park Steel Shed as they patiently waited to view his body lying in repose.

Government ministers and officials as well as Opposition Leader Bishop Joseph Atherley, members of the legal fraternity, representatives from the business sector and the public attended the viewing.

The 55-year-old former attorney-at-law will be laid to rest on Friday at the St Mary’s Anglican Church. He died at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital following a brief stay.

In an earlier tribute, Prime Minister Mottley, who described her brother as her ‘twin’, described him as a good man and acknowledged it would be a difficult time for the family.

“…Warren, we love you and we know that you were a good father, a good husband, a good son, a good brother, a good friend, and God knows you will be taken care of in another place.

“That doesn’t make it any easier. At some point hopefully, the memories will bring not tears but smiles and laughter,” she said.
