Obituaries and more aggregated and curated by Grateful Dread Peace Media's VERDANT SQUARE, featuring notable deaths of the day. We aim to inform the public and pay tribute to those we have lost. Each loss is a diminishment of the human family. Condolences to all in mourning; we pray that all who have died will rest in paradise.
