The late Chezroy Desouza

The students, mainly from the Albena Lake-Hodge Comprehensive School, were among the mass throng at the funeral and burial of 16-year-old Chezroy Desouza, of Blowing Point. He died when the car in which he was a passenger crashed into a utility pole on the Jeremiah Gumbs Highway on February 24. The driver of the vehicle, Shirlon Brooks, of North Side, was hospitalised with severe injuries.

The Anguilla Amateur Athletic Association described Chezroy as an athlete with much promise. He had shown a good deal of ability in the 100m and 200m relays in the Sports Day activities of the Comprehensive School; and during the Leeward Islands athletics in Antigua he made a good impression in the 100m relay. He was a member of the school’s “Oh Yeah Theatre Group” led by Karl Woodley.
