Paying final respects to Lieutenant Colonel Nimrol Devon Beckles.
His life was one of service, discipline, mentorship and quiet national contribution. Through the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force and the Turks and Caicos Islands Cadet Corps, he helped shape the lives of many young people across our Islands.
Lieutenant Colonel Beckles was not born and raised in the Turks and Caicos Islands, but he came here, served here, loved these Islands, and gave himself to our people. In return, the Turks and Caicos Islands loved him back and embraced him as one of our own. That says something about him, and it also says something about the heart of these Islands when we are at our best.
Lieutenant Colonel Beckles served with dignity. He led with purpose. He gave more than he took.
May his soul rest in peace, and may his legacy continue in every young person whose life he helped to shape.
