It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of veteran journalist and colleague here at Vision Newspaper Hopeton O’Connor-Dennie. Hopeton was the Senior International Correspondent for us here at Vision Newspaper since October 2015.
Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness took to twitter to express his condolences.
“I am saddened by the passing of Hopeton O’Connor-Dennie who was a well-known figure in the local media landscape. Dennie was an enthusiastic journalist who spoke his mind and regularly offered commentary both in person and on the airwaves. Dennie covered many events during his career and was very passionate about his work. I express condolences to his family, friends and colleagues at this time and I pray God’s comfort upon them.” said the Prime Minister.
Rest in peace Hopeton!
