KINGSTON, Jamaica – The family of Joseph “Jo Mersa” Marley bid farewell to the late reggae singer on Tuesday.

Marley, the first born of reggae singer/producer Stephen Marley and grandson of the genre’s icon Bob Marley, was laid to rest in Nine Miles, St Ann after a thanksgiving service at the Bob Marley Museum in St Andrew and a funeral procession stop in Trench Town, the birthplace of reggae and hometown of his legendary grandfather.

Jo Mersa — whose mom is Kerry-Ann Smith, younger sister of former Dancehall Queen Carlene Smith — was known for songs such as Burn it Down, Made It, and No Way Out.

He leaves behind his father and mother, wife Qiara, six-year-old daughter Sunshine and 12 siblings.

The Bob Marley Museum was closed to the public on Tuesday and will reopen on Wednesday.
