The life of Constable Keron Kellyman Jr was celebrated with tears, prayers and heartfelt tributes as relatives, friends and fellow police officers gathered at Faith Gospel Hall in Seaforth, St Thomas, on Saturday, to bid farewell to the young lawman whose life was cut short at just 25.

Throughout the service, speakers painted the picture of a devoted police officer, loving father and grandson, and a man whose quiet nature was matched only by his compassion for others.

Delivering the official eulogy on behalf of Assistant Commissioner of Police Derby, acting in charge of the Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch, a representative said Kellyman left an indelible mark on the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).
