You came from the humblest
of beginnings but, in spite
of this, you never once
allowed the demons
of adversity to ever impact
on, shape, or in any other
feasible way determine
what was so arbitrarily
seen by others in their
thoroughly subjective
calculations of what
so very productively
you were markedly,
most conclusively
decisively and as
well justifiably in
your endeavour
to so earnestly
engage in; set
out positively
on individual
vital actions
that clearly proscribed by
what they chose to see,
then very unthinkingly
believed, and clearly
gratuitously ascribed, as
your natural limitations.
If as you keenly hoped
to see your personal
ambitions, if at all
they equally then
assumed, also
taking you to
your choice
individual
realm of
you as
being, quite realistically, a fully fledged, universally
acknowledged and a
justifiable, cricket legend
come Into fruition. And
how very marvelously
naturally resourceful
in your appropriate,
and so discernibĺy
apt and effective
response vitally
to all this - you
unequivocally
so decisively,
cleverly and
forever too,
proved those clearly
jealous naysayers
and disdainful
doubters to
be utterly
wrong!

Author's Remarks:
A truly world class and a phenomenally outstanding cricketer who not only made an indelible impact on the game of cricket at all levels, made himself famous in the process, but also brought great joy and international recognition to his native and beloved Barbados but also the entire process of West Indian international cricket.
Born on the 26 February 1925 Sir Everton Weekes died on the 1 July 2020 aged 95 years. An official funeral was held for him on Thursday 30 July 2020, which was attended by Barbados' Prime Minister Mia Mottley and other dignitaries.
The funeral took place at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies in Sir Everton's native homeland of Barbados.
The internment was also held there, with Sir Everton Weekes laid to rest alongside his other two illustrious and iconic Barbadian and West Indies cricketing stars: Sir Clyde Walcott and Sir Frank Worrell, with whom he jointly made the legendary and world renowned name as one of the immortal 3 Ws.
So my heartfelt thanks Sir Everton for all that you have singly and equally so as a member of the world class 3 Ws: Clyde Walcott, Frank Worrell and yourself done for our country Barbados, the West Indies likewise, and the international cricketing world.
Thanks for everything; rest eternally with the Angels, as you're everlastingly remembered.
