Gregory 'Peck' Sinclair passed last night following a long struggle with cancer. He left his wife Dacia, daughter Brittina age 12, son Matthew age 5, and many family and friends.

I feel extremely privileged to have called Peck one of my closest friends. He and I shared a friendship few are blessed with in a lifetime and for that I will be eternally grateful.

There is so much to say but I will summarize by saying Peck was a great father and a good man and I will miss him dearly.

My deepest condolences to all who loved him and my sincerest thanks to all who have supported his family and friends during the last year.

Rest in peace Peck. Your struggle is over. We are thinking so much of Daicia,Brittina and Matthew.
A very sad day for Treasure Beach and all Peck's friends and family.
Sending you all our love from England.
Barbara and Steve xxxx

Trevor called me right after you called him Rebecca...I am also very saddened by this loss as so many others will be. You should give yourself a HUGE hug for how you helped Peck, and his family through this awful few months. I am sure your support to Dascia and their children will never be forgotten.

I send very heartfelt condolences to Dascia, Brittina, Matthew and family in this difficult time.

I will always remember my most fond and fun memories of my years living in Jamaica as this times I was with my first and one of my closest friends, Peck. This is absolutely a loss that will be felt by so many people.

Please post and details you may have or get about a funeral date as Clara and I will likely want to fly in to help celebrate his life, and also bring support to his family in whatever way they may need. Clara has asked that a special hug be passed on to her cousin Brittina who she loved meeting and playing with in our last visit, and if we are able to come this week, she looks forward to delivering that hug in person!

Thanks for all that you have done Rebecca, and for staying in such close contact with Trevor, I have tried to lend him lots of support from here since he was there to spend time with Peck in October. And I know that he has been grateful for every bit of contact that you have had with him over these past months so that he has not felt so far away.

Take good care of yourself.
Sincerest regards,
Coralie Waschkowski & Clara Mae James

Peck was a wonderful person,alway smiling. My deepest sympathy to dascia, his children, his mother,stepdad, brothers, sister n all the rest of the family. Rebecca u r # one. My prayer r with u all.He is release of his pain.nice picture to remember him

God of Love and Compassion, You look with tenderness on Your beloved sons and daughters, who have been saved by the death and resurrection of Jesus. We ask You to show that same embracing compassion and tender mercy to (Peck a beloved,son, father, husband and friend)to keep his soul and spirit in God's Bright Light) whom You have called from this life. May he enjoy the fullness of the risen life with Jesus and all the saints, bathed in Your glory, light and tender mercy. Amen

A million times we've needed you, A million times we've cried. If love alone could have saved you. You never would have died. If the whole world was ours to give, We would give it yes, and more, To see you coming up the beach, And see you stepping into the boat to go on tour.
To hear your voice and see your smile, To sit and talk a while like when we were young, To be with you that same old way, Would be our fondest day. A heart of gold stopped beating, Two smiling eyes closed to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best first. May your soul and spirit rest in peace until we meet again.

I was fortunate enough to know Peck and consider myself blessed. I have known peck for many years.we have spent many times together and his memories live on. From our youth days on Pedro Cays in the 80's until Saturday night. he was a great man! Never refused to share his knowledge among his collegues, Always willing to help,Such a creative person and a master of the ocean.Capt I must say its very hard for me knowing your not here! Frenchman's Beach feels empty without you but i know your in a beautiful place smiling with the angels. Rest in Peace capt the word is love.

Tonight in NYC Miss Sally told David and me that Peck had passed yesterday. Our hearts bleed for Dacia and her children and to all of those who loved him and saw his special light. One Love.

I thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
And the days before that, too.
I think of you in silence.
I often speak your name.
Now all I have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,
With which i'll never part.
God has you in His Keeping.
I have you in my Heart.

To Peck's wife and kids my heart goes out to you,
you have lost a wonderful husband and father.
To Racquel my dear friend you have lost a wonderful brother.. Take comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering, free from all pain.
I pray that God will contiinue to keep your family wrapped up in his arms of love.

Could consideration be given to people who have been uprooted from TB, who consequently are not familiar with everyone,when things of this nature are being posted? A little background on Peck would be helpful. Condolences anyway.

Peck was born in Aligator Pond to Prudence and Neville Sinclair and moved to Treasure Beach when he was about 13 years old. He lived with his Aunt Dover and Uncle Arthur Keith James. He started going to the Pedro Cays at the same time working with Blackwater Gordon's crew for a time and built fish pots on the Cays.

He worked very hard and purchased his first boat when he was in his early 20's. I forget the name of the boat (does anyone remember?) but I used to call it The Slammer as it had a flat bottom and it would slam on the waves. He purchased another boat a few years later called Wave and I believe it was about 1 1/2 years ago he purchased Lucky Lady his last boat. He had fish pots out at sea and he gave boat tours.

He, his wife and children resided in their home in Lewistown. He was 40 years old.

If I have any above information wrong or if anyone would like to add anything to it, please correct or add accordingly.

My dear friend Peck you have been taken from us so soon. I know that you were in pain and getting weary so God looked into his garden and saw that there was a empty space that only you could have filled. The last time I saw you we were at Pelican bar which was my first time there and as we sat in the water with Rebecca, Nickell, Debbian, Bernard and Copper we all laughed and enjoyed the moment. You and I had our own little private talk where you told me that you were feeling so good and that brought music to my ears, I was really hoping that you would overcome this one. Little did I know that you wouldn't be us for much longer. Peck you where a shining star in a lot of people lives. You will be surely miss my friend I hope that you will finally find peace and rest and watch over us still left behind.. To Dacia and the children I know that are in deep mourning but please find comfort in Jesus arms because only he can give you peace of mind.

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not meant to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered" come to me"
With tearfull eyes we watched you
As we saw you pass away
Although we loved you deeply
We could not make you stay
Your golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

My condolences to the entire family of peck, may god give you all strength during this difficult times RIP-Peck

Thank you Rebecca for that information. I dont think I know him but I know his adoptive parents very well and his adoptive sister. Hello Gloria. I would love to see you, its been a long time. Could you Email me? Nice poem.

A few months ago, a friend of mine passed away in his early 40's from a rare form of cancer. The following prose was read out at his funeral and many who were there took comfort in the words.

The links to Peck - even the references to the boat and the water - are obvious, and I hope that his family and friends will find similar comfort in reading it.

RIP Peck.

What is Dying, by Bishop Brent

I am standing upon that seashore, a boat at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for a blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength and I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says, “There! She’s gone!”

“Gone where?”

“Gone from my sight, that’s all." She is just as large in mast and spar and hull as ever she was when she left my side; just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at that moment when someone at my side says, “There! She’s gone!”, there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes!”

Treasure Beach residents are all family if you would like to call it that.

When I say this my reason is that we all grew-up knowing each and everyone's mother or father over the years and this is a loving community so when someone passes it is felt through-out the whole district.

From Great Bay..Sandy Bank.. Calabash Bay...Frenchman..Billys Bay...Lewis Town...Bluntas.

To me that is Treasure Beach outright.

So condolences is always appreciated and the thing to do regardless if we know that person personally or not.


ALL ONE BIG FAMILY>>>>>TRUST ME>>>>

My condolences to Pecks' family and friends especially his wife and children. May his soul rest in peace. I pray that God will give you all strength during this time and now I leave i quote from this author

"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love". -Leo Buscaglia

Our deepest sympathies to Peck's wife, children, mom and dad and the rest of his family. We are glad to have known Peck. When we were in Jamaica in August, we shared some good times. We will always remember those days. You were a true friend to me and my brother Wally. He can't believe that you are gone, but not forgotten. V said when she saw you at church she spoke to you about the Lord and you said "you are fighting with all your strength" and you did. You said "your soul is at peace with the Lord." She was very happy for you. So my friend, we will miss you when we come home to visit each year. God saw you getting tired and a cure was not meant to be. So, he put his arms around you and whispered come to me. God proves to us he only takes the best. Goodbye my friend. May your soul rest in peace.

i'm so sorry to hear of his passing. he was always so very kind to me when ever i went to treasure beach with Ruego. My condolences goes out to all of his family and friends. stay strong.

SORRY DACIA TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOSS. ITS REALLY HURT WHEN IT IS SOMEONE YOU LOVE SO DEAR.BE STRONG FOR YOURSELF AND THE KIDS.

My wife Rachel and I just heard about Peck's passing. We had many good times with Peck and Wally, on the boat, on the shore, at our rental house, and hanging by the sea. I felt a special kinship with him and I look forward to catching up with him on the other side. Our condolences to his family. May God be with you.

Travis and Rachel Braun

It has been one year since we lost our dear friend Peck. As a friend wrote to me this morning, "Anniversaries are there for you to remember all the positive things.".

As Peck was such a positive person and had such a positive influence on so many I know those of you who knew him will join me in remembering him which will inevitably put a smile on your face. He is gone from us here on earth but is still capable of making us laugh and smile when we remember him.

I still miss my uncle will always miss him...
