Amid tears and heartfelt tributes, moments of laughter punctuated the funeral of veteran broadcaster Daniel ‘DT’ Thompson on Saturday, as family and friends shared fond memories of the man they said lived life to the fullest.

For them, Thompson was the epitome of what it meant to find balance in life, an individual who exuded kindness, and whose light-hearted and charismatic personality served as a source of hope and inspiration to the many lives he impacted.

Thompson, whose smooth, rich, and velvety baritone was a constant for listeners of Radio Jamaica 94 FM for 28 years, died on April 30 after a brief illness.
