Former PNP councillor Dr Rohan Williams has died

Former People’s National Party (PNP) councillor for the Ocho Rios Division, Dr Rohan Williams has died.

Williams died in a hospital in Washington, DC, in the United States on Sunday, May 4.

He lost his battle with cancer, which he had been battling for over four years. Williams was 54 years old.

Williams served as councillor for the Ocho Rios Division from 2012 to 2016. He operated his medical facility, Williams Medical Centre, on Main Street in Ocho Rios for over 20 years.

Close friend of Williams, Errol “Jaky” Haughton, said the news of Williams’ passing has left him in disbelief, but described his friend as a humble and kind man.

“He never turned his back on those who needed his help; he was a humble man,” Haughton stated.

Williams’ brother, former Jamaica Labour Party councillor for the Ocho Rios Division, Neville Williams stated the family is shaken up by the loss of his brother.

“Rohan was an integral part of the family, and we asked that people keep us in their prayers at this time of bereavement,” he said.

Williams leaves behind his wife and three children.
