It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Shawnathon Alex Chase, beloved son of Shawn Chase and Zabida “Rochelle” Chase. He was a cherished brother to Kevin and Jason Sayersingh, and a treasured grandson of Eveline Chase, the late Desmond Bynoe of Barbados, and Farida and Wajid Ali of Guyana.

Shawnathon was the beloved nephew of Angela Clarke, Ordeen Springer, Desmond “McClaren” Chase, Allan Harte, Juanita King, Lauriston Chase, Shameer, Imran, and Zaman Ali. He was also the godson of Katrina Alleyne.

He leaves behind a host of loving cousins including Alana Clarke, Delisa Lashley, Stefan, Saaria and Shavon Springer, Julian, Jerold and Roziah Harte, Olga Gale, Marlon Legall, Natalie and Mary-Ellen Waterman, Lester King, Trevor, Neville and Kenrick Boucher, Marlene Croney, Tracey Chase, Natasha, Anasha, Meneo, Milissa, Zaheer, Inzaman, Amir, and Jarid Ali.

He will be fondly remembered by the Chase and Gale families of Barbados and the Ali families of Guyana.

Shawnathon’s vibrant spirit touched many lives. He was a loyal best friend to Lakaisha, Shameley, Rocalico, Anaiya, Tashara, Shadara, Kadarious, Justin, and Shamari from school; and Joel, Rasheed, Frank, Jamari, Donte, Nicholai, and Omari from his home community.

He will be dearly missed by his classmates from the Class of 2023, fellow students of Class 2-3, and by the teachers and staff of Milton Lynch Primary School and The Lodge School, as well as by the residents of the Silver Hill community and many others whose lives he touched with kindness and joy.
