Kenrick Ramsingh, 75, of Chaguanas-Trinidad and Tobago, passed away on January 26, 2019 in Miami, Florida. He was born in Felicity to Ramdeen Singh and Jagdai Mahadeosingh on August 30, 1943.
Kenrick is preceded in death by his parents, his sister Charmaine Ramsingh, and his brother Deonarine Singh.
Kenrick is survived by the following:
His wife- Mindevi Ramsingh (affectionately called Matil)
His children - Sharon Mohammed, Karen Looknanan, Deborah Ramsingh and Marlon Ramsingh His siblings- Bhagmania (Dee Dee), Sharda, Brionne, Rukhmin (Girlie), Sean, Lelawatie (Sheila)
Grandchildren- Jada Mohammed, Kristian Ramsingh, Jazmin Mohammed and Zachary Ramsingh

Extended family - Sally Teesdale
Kenrick married Mindevi in September of 1968 and recently celebrated 50 years of wedded bliss. Out of that union, he was blessed with four wonderful children and four grandchildren. Family was of utmost importance to Kenrick and after that, charity and benevolence closely followed.
He was a strong leader, great husband, devoted father, big brother and trusted friend. Everywhere he went he made new friends and loved daily interactions with people. Kenrick was passionate about cars, photography, bird watching, good food, western movies, music and dancing.
He loved the lord, gave his life to Christ and was baptized in August of 2012. If he had one thing to tell you, it would be: Follow me as I follow Christ. Finish your race to hear: "Well Done".
Heaven gained an angel & prince and we will dance with you when we get there.

"Uncle Kenrick, as he was affectionately known to us all growing up, was always the life of the party. He always donned the perfect hairdo and brightest smile, carrying that effervescent energy with him anywhere he went. He demonstrated love and kindness to all-both family friends.

We send our love, Shan, Ravi and Aarav"

"Uncle Kenrick, you were truly a gem of a person. If it?s one thing that your death has taught me is the importance of family. Thanks for your support, love and blessings on my life. I know you said that you would come driving and visit me when you got back but I guess you?ll be flying now and watching over me. Fly high hero! Please tell my Papa, Aunty Charmaine and Uncle Deonarine that I love and miss them. Till I see you...enjoy singing with the other angels in heaven. Love you always ...."

"Blessed are they that mourn, they shall be comforted. I don't like goodbyes so I will just say see you on the other side.
My dear uncle Kenrick, thanks for your contribution of love, kindness, shelter from the storms, taking interest in my health personally. In the many ways you cared. In loving memory we would have a couple dollars to spend whenever you dropped in at night. You shared from your basket not just your heart. I never left your home at Christmas time without you taking me to the grocery store where I would select a candy boot to share with my siblings. You visited me when I was hospitalized. You remind me of, "Geranimo" that native who fought alone and fought a good fight. Truly grateful for you and that I had the opportunity to be a very small part of your life. You've left a legacy of a good father, son, uncle, brother, friend and to many a HERO. Thank you for it all. You've earned your reward. I'm sorry I couldn't say it to you before, but thank you and love you.
Love,
Amanda Singh & Family.

"Kendrick! I know it was Kenrick, but you allowed me to call you that, and I think I was the only one that did. It was our private humor. I do regret you are not going to be visiting me in Texas, the one place you always said you would like to visit. However, I know you are there roaming the vast plains of Texas from your Heavenly view, possibly riding on a Heavenly Majestic Horse our Savior has provided you. Happy Trails to You, until we meet Again!"

"Daddy you never said im leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before i knew it
And only God knew why.
A million times i needed you , A million times i cried.
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
In life i loved you dearly
In death i love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God took you home.
Love You Forever Daddy
"

"Daddy, all that I am is all that you have taught me to be. I will never forget your words of wisdom, acts of kindness, silly jokes, life lessons and most importantly - your endless love, guidance and protection. I will miss our daily phone calls and the sound of your great voice. You have left a huge hole in my heart but I take comfort in knowing that one day we will be reunited in heaven. Love you forever."

"Daddy your life exuded excellence. You were indeed the epitome of a family man. A father to your biological children, family?s children, neighborhood?s children and to many orphans. You are in the best place right now, with your lord and savior Jesus Christ. I love you forever and I will see you again in Heaven! "

His charming personality showed it doesnt cost to nice to everyone no matter race, age or culture. His work ethic showed dedication and appreciation for his source of income. Most importantly, his truest legacy is his family. Mr Ramsingh you've been a role model to me. I love you and will surely miss you... Rest in Peace, S. Teesdale."
