“Selwyn was fun, a happy soul, always making a joke, spreading laughter and smiles wherever he goes. His laugh was one of a kind, the kind that makes you want to laugh too. He loved the outdoors and was an excellent hunter. Some of his preferred preys were corn birds, manicou, and aguati. His favourite and most sought after prey was the iguana. He loved eating iguana with ground provisions.

Selwyn was also a boss, skilled in many trades, from carpentry to mechanics, masonry, and all. He was a staple in every commynity that he lived. He used his skilled trades, infectious smile and love for people too seduce everone who crossed his path.

Selwyn was a man that knew how to fix his mix, whether it’s a pot on the stove, a broken car engine or his drinks…and Lord we know Selwyn could drink. “
