LEANDO FAGANAUGUST 22, 1940 – MARCH 16, 2021
“EVERYWHERE HE WENT, HE WAS ALWAYS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY…”
Born in St Ann, Jamaica
AUGUST 22,1940
Leando Fagan, also known as “Fagan” by everyone around him, passed away peacefully on March 16th, 2021 at the tender age of 79. In his early years, Fagan moved to Kingston with no real plan in place. He was a determined man with big dreams of having a better life for him and his family. Shortly after his move, he landed a job at Water Commission, where he worked for many years.
“During this time he met the only woman he had ever loved, Barbara Barnett. Barbara and Fagan had 2 beautiful children, Everard (Paul) and Marie, and raised them with love, laughter and kindness.“
“Fagan was the type of person that made friends everywhere he went. It didn’t matter who the person was. He found a way to bring joy into that person’s life.“

Mr. Fagan, Fagan, Fagey, Lee – our beloved friend and brother.
Fagan was one of our first friends when we moved to Westport – he welcomed us with open arms and helped us to get settled in – with his warm personality and witty humour he made us felt at home right away. Over the years our friendship blossomed into a family and he became our BROTHER.
Fagan was a very kind, loving and jovial person – you never had a dull moment when he is around. He always wore a smile and would always have us laughing – he had the best jokes. He was our comedian, dub poet, DJ and Conga Drummer. No buckets, pans or wooden surfaces could escape his habit of drumming. Our daughters, Travea and Myesha always loved him, he was like an uncle to them, a protector.
He was a hard worker and a family man – always talking about children and Grandchildren, he loved his family. To Marie, Paul and the rest of the family, our prayers and thoughts are with you. And we offer our deepest condolences.
Fagan You have been apart our lives for so many years and you will forever be in our hearts and we will cherish all the great memories we have shared throughout the years. We will miss your laughter, your humour, our conversations and everything else. Rest Well good friend – til’ we meet again.
Uncle was one of a kind. Never a dull moment with him. So kind and thoughtful; he was a people person. I miss him.
Mr. Fagan gave us laughter in our darkest times. My daughters and I lived next door and we enjoyed every moment with him. He always told us some funny poems. Everything he said he would rhyme them. I remember always cutting his nice white hair… Sigh, Mr. Fagan you will be truly missed!

Leander Fagan, “Rhymer” as he was called by us at the NWC Payroll Department was really a jolly good fellow. Many a days he would come and visit us in the Payroll Department and have us reeling over with laughter with his many stories of varying topics.
Fagan endeared himself to me, and I got acquainted with his son Paul, his daughter Marie and his significant other Barbara..
I usually look forward to his monthly visits to the office to collect his pension slip. These visits always see him bringing a package of some fruit or another and I dare not say no. Fagan was really a very kind person. No matter how busy I was, when Fagan arrives, I would have to make the time to accommodate him, because he finds much pleasure In recounting his childhood days experiences…..he really had some interesting stories to relate and some fond memories. I vividly remember the day that Fagan took Paul to the office to meet me. That was really a happy day.
Leander Fagan, you are gone, but you have left a ton load of memories behind. You were like no other. You had this unique way of bringing a room alive whenever you grace it with your presence
I didn’t know him during his active years at the NWC, I met him as a Pensioner. But his colleagues, when reflecting on him only had love and admiration for him and that was evident by the reaction when they encounter with him…… there was never a dull moment with Fagan. Try as you may, one could never turn him off and he wouldn’t leave until he think he had provided enough fun and laughter for everyone.
Man, he was a real stress reliever.
Fagan was one of a kind. He stood out in any crowd.
If happy was a person, Leander Fagan fit that bill.
SIP Fagan.
You were loved by many and you played your part on earth quite well.
The curtains have been drawn, but I hope one sweet day we will meet again.

Take a bow Leando Fagan ❤️????
To know Mr Fagan is to love him. He is one of the nicest persons I know. He loves his family unequivocally. I have known him all my life and Marie is my bestest friend. Marie and Paul are both so amazing because of his nurturing and unwavering support for them. He was the first comedian I know. The life of the party and always pleasant and smiling. While encouraging all around him to smile, have fun and enjoy life. Live laugh and love – his motto. I choose to celebrate Mr Fagan rather than to grieve. His amazing ‘larger than life’ attitude and legacy will live on
And may Courage, Strength and Peace be with his family at this time. May Mr Fagan have a peaceful transition. Light and Love.
