Official Statement by Prime Minister Gaston Browne on Passing of Sir Robert Barrett
ST. JOHN, Antigua and Barbuda – 6th March 2025……Prime Minister the Hon. Gaston Browne today expressed condolences on the passing of hotelier Sir Robert Allen Barrett. The full text of the Prime Minister’s Statement is printed below:
“On behalf of the Government and people of Antigua and Barbuda, I express deep condolences to the children, family, friends and colleagues of Sir Robert Allen Barrett who died on this date.
Sir Robert Barrett Esq. was the single-most successful entrepreneur who relied on accumulated capital from early ventures to finance succeeding hotel and hospitality projects. For these reasons, my Government conferred one of the highest national honours on this outstanding citizen several years ago. He is to be granted an official memorial service.
The reliable and highly regarded trustee of Sir Robert Barret, who telephoned this morning, Thursday 6 March 2025, conveyed a message which Sir Robert delivered before breathing his last breath: “Tell P.M. Browne that he is an extraordinary leader and that he is taking the country in the right direction.”
Sir Robert Barret decided to make Antigua his home and to become a citizen of this great little country. Several entrepreneurs who had faith in his abilities, conjoined with him to invest in the hotel/hospitality industry. None regrets their decision. He was smart, unrelenting in his quest to make a success of every venture, showed enormous staying-power, and multiplied his talents many times in his lifetime. He will surely be missed. May his soul rest in peace and rise in paradise.”
Honourable Gaston Browne M.P.
Prime Minister
