His contribution to sport also included football, refereeing and coaching. As a former sports officer for St James, Reid helped nurture young talent and supported children’s development through sport.

He also served as an active member of the Montego Bay Cricket Club’s board for several decades.

Reid died on August 16 following a brief illness. He was laid to rest at Dovecot cemetery in St James.
