The family of Raynard Garbutt, the 22 year old Sarita delivery man who was murdered in December, have started a small foundation in his memory.
For their first project they donated sports jerseys to Garbutt's former primary school in Santa Elena. His father - a veteran sports broadcaster - spoke more about the initiative and why they decided to do it:
Raynard Raymond Garbutt Sr., Father of deceased
"So we donated 2 sets of jerseys, 4 sets of jerseys to the Santa Elena primary school. And like I mentioned that the initiative started from his mom Michelle we started the Raynard Garbutt foundation and since this was the primary school he attended here in Santa Elena we decided to start here by giving and reaching out because we wanted to keep the memory of my son alive because of how his life was taken. It was just a terrible, horrible way how his life was taken he was shot twice in his head and so we want to keep his legacy we want to keep his memory alive which better place to do it than right here at the Santa Elena Primary school."
Draya Crawford, Principal Santa Elena Primary school
"It's purposeful moment for Santa Elena primary school. We have known Raynard I was his past teacher as well and we are really really happy and grateful That the parents from Santa Elena primary school gave this donation. Our school has always been known for sports and academics but more sports and we have always excelled in sports so giving this is a very great initiative for our students, it is a personnel from the community and we surely will make the family proud and continue the legacy here for Raynard at Santa Elena primary school."
