Friends and colleagues at New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) have expressed deep sorrow on the sudden passing of beloved Jamaican American manager Gary Henry, who died suddenly on March 25.
Relatives said Henry, a manager in the Disease Intervention and Case Management (DICM) Unit in the Bureau of Tuberculosis Control (BTBC), was “barely 55 years old, when on March 25, 2022, on his way home to take care of his first love, our mother, he passed out in the parking lot of his work site.
“Despite the tremendous effort of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) and the Emergency Department at Woodhull Medical Center to revive him, God saw fit and transitioned him to his spiritual home,” said relatives in the obituary. “His entire family remains in shock that their baby brother has gone home to glory so soon.”
Henry’s colleagues at DOHMH, with whom he had developed a very close working relationship, over the years, told Caribbean Life that they were still in shock over his sudden demise.
No cause of death reported.
