David Ronaldo

Newell

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of David Ronaldo Newell, who passed away on October 31, 2026, at the age of 28.

Born on May 8, 1998, in Kingston, Jamaica, to his loving parents, Joan Anne Marie Newell and Ronie Anthony Newell, David brought warmth, laughter, and kindness into the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.

David was a gentle soul with a generous heart and a personality that made him easy to love. Known for his infectious smile, sense of humour, and kind spirit, he had a natural ability to connect with others. He was thoughtful, polite, and considerate, never losing sight of his values or the importance of treating others with kindness.

Throughout his life, David developed a deep love for music, food, animals, and spending time with those closest to him. Whether playing drums, experimenting with music, sharing a home-cooked meal, or simply making those around him laugh, he found joy in the things that brought people together. His creativity and talent extended beyond his hobbies, and he was never afraid to work with his hands, learn something new, or explore different opportunities.

David was an ambitious young man who believed in working hard for the life he envisioned. He carried big dreams and aspirations, always looking toward a future where he could find success and share it with the people he loved. Beneath those ambitions was an incredibly generous person who wanted to see his family and friends happy and provided for.

Although David faced his share of hardships, he continued to approach life with courage and a smile. He had a remarkable way of holding on to the good in life, cherishing old friendships, family connections, and memories, no matter how much time had passed. His loyalty and love for the people in his life never went unnoticed.

David leaves behind his loving parents, Joan and Ronie Newell, his three siblings, and a large circle of extended family and friends who will forever carry his memory in their hearts. His life, though far too short, was filled with moments, relationships, and memories that will continue to live on through everyone he touched. He will be remembered not only for the years he spent with us, but for the love, laughter, and kindness he left behind.

In the days following David's passing, his family found comfort in the words of Psalm 34:4:

"I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears."

These words serve as a reminder that David is finally at peace, free from the hardships of this world, and forever held in God's care.

Though our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that David's memory will remain with us always. His life on earth may have been cut short, but the love he gave and the impact he made will never fade.

Farewell, David. Until we meet again.
