Denton Harriott

him. And those of us who did know him, affectionately called him

“Grandfather”. Denton was the youngest of seven children born

to Richard and Evelyn Harriott on May 9, 1932 in Newcastle, St.

Thomas, Jamaica. Sadly, he lost his parents during his youth and

being the youngest child he was raised primarily by his siblings.

As a young man Denton moved from Newcastle to Danver’s pen

and later to Kingston seeking good employment.

He was a true Jamaican man of his time. Meaning, he worked

very hard, he loved his family, he enjoyed his food and he loved

his buffet of women. During this period in his life he produced

two children, a son Michael Harriott and a daughter Hortense

Harriott. He fathered Hortense with Phyllis Brown. He was also a

step-father to Joyce, Gifford, Desmond and Fitzroy.

Denton was a very proud, strong, loving, and caring man.

He leaves behind daughter Hortense Powell, son Michael

Harriott, son-in-law Noel Powell, Granddaughter Kim Foster,

Great grandsons Oristan & Triston Foster, great granddaughter

Kristen Foster and many nieces and nephews.

While Denton’s passing leaves a heartache no one can heal, his

love leaves memories no one can steal.

We Love You and We Will Miss You.
