The death of 41-year-old Kwasi Dion Gill, who was shot dead in Bel­mont on Sat­ur­day, has sparked an out­pour­ing of trib­utes from or­gan­i­sa­tions that re­mem­bered him for his com­pas­sion, courage and com­mit­ment to vul­ner­a­ble peo­ple.

Sex and gen­der jus­tice or­gan­i­sa­tion CAISO de­scribed Gill as a per­son who touched many lives with his “bright smile, warm spir­it and un­wa­ver­ing com­mit­ment to oth­ers.”

The or­gan­i­sa­tion said Gill worked along­side count­less peo­ple and or­gan­i­sa­tions and con­sis­tent­ly cre­at­ed spaces where oth­ers felt seen, heard and sup­port­ed.
