Candlelight Vigil Held for Chantel Crump as Community Pays Heartfelt Tributes
A candlelight vigil was held on Thursday evening in memory of nine-year-old Chantel Crump, drawing a moving outpouring of grief and love from family, friends, and community members at the Keithly Sheppard Recreation Park.
The evening began with a peaceful procession through Chantel’s neighbourhood, followed by a gathering at the park where tributes were offered in prayer, poetry, and song—honouring the life of a child whose presence deeply touched all who knew her.
One tribute described Chantel as a light who could “tear down even the biggest and toughest wall,” with mourners vowing never to forget her name. Another prayer called for divine peace: “May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.”
Tributes in song formed a central part of the vigil.
Voices lifted in solemn and uplifting melodies, reflecting both sorrow and faith.
Lyrics such as “And I will call upon Your name and keep my eyes above the waves” resonated with many, expressing both grief and hope.
Poetic reflections spoke to the depth of the community’s loss: “Our sorrows run deep, never to be told, as the weeping comes in waves.” Others reflected on the spiritual journey and a belief in eternal connection: “In the beginning, God created me… and gave unto men wisdom, knowledge, and spirit.”
The evening concluded with a tribute concert where attendees continued to share memories and celebrate Chantel’s life through music and spoken word.
Chantel’s passing has left the community in mourning, but Thursday’s vigil served as a powerful reminder of her impact and the unity she inspired.

It’s a shame I join in your pain. It hurts that I couldn’t be there. I’m a mother and it’s not easy to lose a child or family.
From New York. In tears.
Justice for the little Angel named Chantel
JUSTICE FOR CHANTEL NOW!!!
Well done fellow Antiguan’s, as I’m moved to tears for the loss of this innocent child.
Chantel will live on in our hearts.
I was there in Spirit and heart, may the lord rest her soul in peace. R.I. P Chantell.
I was there in Spirit, may her soul rest in peace, with the Lord’s health and strength, R.I.P. Chantell.
May your departure though sad, help your nation to become a greater one. Rip. I don’t know you but I sure felt a connection as a mother. Mothers and father lets cover our children with prayers everyday.
