I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Stuart Knight, the first President of the Pamites, the youth arm of the Peoples Action Movement. At a time when the young people of St. Kitts-Nevis and Anguilla were prohibited from voting before age 21, Stuart led and motivated the youth of PAM in St. Kitts with passion and determination through the challenging early days of the Party’s existence.
Stuart loved his Country and his Party and his devotion and dedication to his Party’s growth and development, contributed significantly to propel his Party to gain the Government in 1980, then lead Our Nation into Independence in 1983, and guide St. Kitts and Nevis to achieve the highest level of per capita income growth in the Caribbean and Latin America, in its first ten years in Government.
As recently as May this year, Stuart was still sharing his knowledge and insights as he joined a panel with the Party Leader and Deputy Prime Minister the Honourable Shawn Richards and myself to discuss the early beginnings of PAM, and more particularly the Pamites, with a group of today’s young Pamites.
The leadership of Stuart Knight is indelibly documented in the 25th Anniversary Magazine of the Peoples Action Movement, and he will forever be remembered as the first President of the Pamites, the youth arm of the Peoples Action Movement.
On behalf of my wife, my entire family and myself, I extend deepest condolences to the family and close friends of our dear departed brother, Stuart.
May his soul rest in peace.
