#JamaicaGleaner #JessieRipoll #ONeilStevens JANUARY 7, 2025: Instead of the usual excitement marking the start of a new year and academic term at Jessie Ripoll Primary School, the atmosphere was filled with sorrow and mourning as the school community gathered to grieve the tragic loss of their principal, O’Neil Stevens, who passed away last Friday. Stevens and his wife, Camesha Lindsay-Stevens, tragically lost their lives in a car accident on a highway in South Carolina, USA, when a vehicle struck them after they stopped to change a flat tyre. The couple had just wrapped up a vacation with their two daughters and were en route to the airport to return to Jamaica.
