Celebration of Life for Lynford MeKenzie

Tribute to Lynford McKenzie

It is with deep sadness that we learned of the passing of Mr. Lynford McKenzie in January. Unfortunately, we were only recently informed of his death.

I first met Lynford when we both served as panelists on the Florida Caribbean Sportline, a program founded by Oliver Solomon. I served as the statistician on the show, and over the years we developed a great friendship and mutual respect.

When I founded Cricket Show USA Inc. in 2010, Lynford was invited to join the panel. He did not hesitate to accept and quickly became one of our most loyal and dedicated contributors. Throughout the years, he played a significant role in the growth and development of the show.

One of Lynford’s most important contributions was recruiting Hall of Famer and host Dennis Heath, who remains a pivotal figure in the success of our program. His ability to recognize talent and bring quality individuals into the organization greatly benefited Cricket Show USA Inc.

Beyond his work with our show, Lynford was a respected cricket writer who contributed articles to the renowned Jamaica Gleaner. He also served for many years as an expert cricket umpire in Texas, earning the respect and admiration of players, officials, and cricket enthusiasts alike.

Lynford’s knowledge of cricket, his dedication to the sport, and his unwavering support of Cricket Show USA Inc. will never be forgotten. He will be missed tremendously by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.

His memory will remain with us for a very long time.

On behalf of Cricket Show USA Inc., I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and the entire cricket community. May they find comfort in the knowledge that Lynford made a lasting impact on the sport he loved and on the many lives he touched.

Rest in Peace, Lynford McKenzie.

What They Say About Audley Watson

Inspiration to Many

Leon Francis, President, Cricket Show USA

As we celebrate the extraordinary life of Audley Bings Watson, a remarkable individual and one whose presence had enriched our lives in countless ways. Thought he may no longer be with us, the memories I hold dear, will forever keep his spirit alive.

Audley was truly one of a kind and an upright man of God. I first met him in person, at Church and from that moment, I knew I would be in the presence of someone special, whenever we met.

As a foundation member of our Organization, he authored the Inside edge and the Walter Henry birthday and Anniversary section on the Cricket Show Inc, now renamed the Cricket Show USA Inc. As Secretary he served our organization with distinction, a position that would difficult fill. As a panelist, his presentation was usually filled with humor, being a cricket commentator and a MC.

His warm smile and infectious laughter had a way of lighting up even the darkest of rooms. He had a unique ability to make those around him feel valued and cherished, whether you were a lifelong friend or a stranger he just met.

As we say farewell to the mortal remains of Audley Watson, let us remember that God has called him home to fulfill a greater task and that someday we will meet again.

To all his relatives, loved ones and numerous friends, I offer on behalf our organization I offer our heartfelt sympathies. May his Soul rest in peace and rise triumphantly in Glory.

The very first time I was introduced to you, it was through the Cricket Show on Blog Talk Radio. As soon as you spoke, I could hear the smile in your voice. What I am trying to say is: you put people at ease. You make them feel comfortable, and there is a peacefulness in that. And so, in turn dear Audley may The Eternal Most High, grant that you now be at rest peacefully until his return.
