Rafiq Khan, one of Guyana’s first radio broadcasters, died yesterday in Kingston, Jamaica at the age of 82.
Khan was admitted to the University of West Indies Hospital on Thursday with an apparent chikungunya infection. He died early yesterday morning.
His eldest son, Rafiq Junior, said his father was an “iconic broadcaster†but he was “more of a good father†who loved his family. Rafiq Junior said his father would be cremated in Jamaica in accordance with his wishes. “This came as a shock to my brother and me, because only yesterday [Thursday] I spoke to him,†he said. “But apparently the chikungunya triggered other complications within him.â€
He stated that his father, who had retired in the Caribbean island, had told him last Sunday that he was unwell.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
