The family of the late Recording Artiste Lieutenant Stitchie has shared gratitude to those who reached out and offered support during time of grief.
Stitchie whose given name was Cleveland Laing, passed away yesterday after a long battle with illness.
In an Instagram post today, the family noted that they are grateful for "the kindness, prayers, and expressions of love which have brought comfort to the family".
They highlight Stitchie's impact, noting that the gospel artiste "touched the lives of many through his music, ministry & creativity, adding that "His legacy will continue to live on through the countless lives he inspired."
They say more information regarding funeral arrangements will be shared by the family in due course.
Stitchie would have turned 61 years today.
In 2024, Stitchie suffered a massive stroke which limited his mobility and speech.
Meanwhile, Culture & Entertainment Minister Olivia Grange says she deeply regrets the passing of ‘Lieutenant Stitchie’, whose secular and gospel music caught the imagination of fans at home and abroad.
The Minister said Stitchie has left us a rich legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.
