Stephen Francis passed RIP

Sun, Jul 5, '26 at 10:33 AM

Incredibly sad news today, a long time friend and coaching GOAT passed away, words can’t express how I feel now, truly can’t believe this. Condolences to Paul and his family and to the Wolmers family as well. RIP great man, you have set in motion a trail in track and field in Jamaica that will live on, your legacy is assured.

😞

RIP Stephen.

A little known fact is that Stephen was captain of the Wolmers team that won the Schools Challenge final in 1981.
