Late Jamaica Observer journalist Patrick Foster was laid to rest on Wednesday following a moving thanksgiving service for his life at St Andrew Parish Church.
Foster died aged 66 on March 29 after a period of illness.
He started out at the Observer as a real estate journalist, then spent over 20 years at the organisation landing other roles such as deputy news editor, then online editor, until his retirement in December 2022.
At his funeral on Wednesday, Foster was remembered as a loving father, a kind-hearted individual and consummate professional.
