Don We­h­by, one of Ja­maica’s most re­spect­ed pri­vate sec­tor lead­ers, has died. He was 62.

In a state­ment, GraceKennedy said it was “with pro­found sad­ness” that the com­pa­ny ac­knowl­edged the pass­ing of its re­tired Group CEO.

“Don was a re­mark­able leader who em­bod­ied self­less ser­vice, un­wa­ver­ing in­tegri­ty, and a deep love for his fam­i­ly, GraceKennedy, and his beloved home­land, Ja­maica. His vi­sion­ary lead­er­ship and ded­i­ca­tion to na­tion-build­ing have left an en­dur­ing mark on our com­pa­ny and coun­try. His lega­cy will live on in the count­less lives he up­lift­ed and the gen­er­a­tions he in­spired.
