Kenton Kirby, the Vincentian-born Editor Emeritus of Caribbean Life, the Brooklyn-based largest Caribbean-themed newspaper in the United States, died on Tuesday, Sept. 6 at a nursing rehabilitation center in Brooklyn. He was 76.
Kamla Millwood, Kirby’s daughter, said her dad died on Tuesday morning at NYC Health + Hospitals/McKinney on Albany Avenue in Brooklyn, where he was a resident for some time.
While Kirby’s cause of death is not immediately known, Millwood told Caribbean Life that her dad was “suffering for a long time” after sustaining injury during a “headstand” about 10 years ago.
