Tonight, my heart goes out to the family, loved ones, friends, colleagues, and admirers of former Senator and former Minister, the Honourable Don Wehby, O.J, who transitioned yesterday. We mourn the passing of a respected former government senator and a visionary leader whose influence spanned both public service and private enterprise. The Honorable Don Wehby was the Group Chief Executive Officer of GraceKennedy Limited, a remarkable tenure he began on July 1, 2011, after serving as Group Chief Operating Officer first, and rejoining the company in October 2009. His transformational leadership helped guide GraceKennedy’s expansion into regional and global markets and established it as one of the Caribbean’s most dynamic conglomerates. Don was known not just for his professional excellence but for his character, kind, gracious, deeply principled, and unwaveringly committed to Jamaica’s future. He served with integrity as Government Senator and Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Finance from September 2007 to October 2009, and again in the Senate from 2016 onward, always offering wisdom, mentorship, and a firm belief in the potential of his homeland. His passing is a tremendous loss for his loving family, for the colleagues and communities he uplifted, and for the nation he so passionately served. But Don Wehby’s legacy endures, in the lives he mentored, in the institutions he helped build, and in the ideals he championed. To his family, your loss is deeply felt. To the staff of GraceKennedy, his fellow policymakers, and the many students, entrepreneurs, and citizens who looked to him for leadership, I know your sorrow. May you find solace in the countless ways he made Jamaica better. May his memory forever be a blessing, and may his legacy continue to inspire us to serve with purpose, integrity, and love.
