I am truly saddened to the depths of my soul. I have known Alfred for many years dating back to the first meeting at the Xtabi bar. My heartfelt sympathies are sent to his family and all that shared the joy of knowing Alfred.

Alfred was my first driver to Negril....I had the pleasure of spending much time with him & getting to know Alfred as a friend over the years through Rob.

My heart goes out to his friends, Rob, Tracy and condolences to his family! We will all miss him dearly!!

Very sad. One of Negril's top cabbies and a really nice man. RIP.

Just read the article on the Gleaner. Where is the Blue Dice Bar/Resturant where the incident happened? Is it in the West End?

I have some really good memories of times with Alfred, a ride from Negril to Kingston, an evening learning to cooking lobsters, many runs about town with friends during ekoostik hookah festivals. He was a great man, a great dad, an incredible representative of Jamaica to visitors and his loss will be felt by SO many. Just one post on Facebook has elicited many private messages and phone calls from people who only met him last year. I have only known him for 4 years, I can only imagine what the huge number of long-time clients and friends of his are going through.

Negril won't be the same with Alfred Barrett gone.
