Mr. Eugene Humphreys, affectionately known as “the Minister of Helps” died today after a battle with cancer.

Late last month ANR reported that he was fighting for his life after being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, which spread to his liver.

Eugene Humphreys is renowned for his catchy slogan, “I can’t be hired, nor can I be fired.” He has personified some of the essential characteristics that today’s ministers should possess. The Minister of Helps has been labelled by many as a true man of the soil and has contributed immensely to the citizenry and social landscape of Antigua and Barbuda through his selfless endeavours.

Over the last two decades, he has been a strong community activist, ensuring that both sides of the political spectrum remain in check and he has always encouraged them to serve the nation of Antigua and Barbuda with integrity.   He has spent most of his lifetime committed to helping others; through fundraisers, charity, providing aid to the hospital or offering his services to the church, the police force or anyone with a need.

  1. He did a lot with the life he was given. He was selfless and made a difference in the lives of many.

    Not self appointed he was the Minister of helps, because that was his life helping other.

    Condolences to his family and friends.

    I will forever remember the effigy of Sir Lester every Thursday going up Market Street.

  2. Condolences to his family and friends. Will always remember his fight to ensure that persons voices are heard, even if its deemed not popular to so do

  3. “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” ~James 1:27

    His actions embodied pure religion. Sleep on ’til resurrection morning. May his family and friends take comfort in the promise of our Creator found in Revelation 21:4

  4. Eugene Humphreys was truly a good and genuine person who did his utmost to clean up the dirty politics and he was never afraid to do so. He will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends.

  5. A man who has made a lot of sacrifices that enabled others to live a better life. Your name and contributions will forever be in the minds and hearts of those who cherish your labour. Remembering the last time we met at CUM church in Clare Hall, he brought a cylinder to the church and placed the first 100 (one hundred) dollar coin inside and ask the congregation to continue place dollar coins inside, as it is capable of holding $65000.00 when filled. Rest your weary soul in peace my friend!
