Contrary to popular beliefs, Ding had his goals intact. He knew what he wanted to be and how he was going to get there. He was smart, original and always rose above the negative comments he received. My last moment with Ding was the day before he died. We had a lovely time together... I will always love him and will never forget him.

I am a forgetful person. I never thought I would have to see my brothers on T-shirts. However, shirts fade and memories are lost. Therefore, I got a tattoo and for that I will never forget what happened to my dogs. To all my enemies peace…Cameron and Ding, I love you 4 EVA. For you, till I rest...

§ To many persons, I am viewed as an enemy of the two. Although I did not hate them, it was the situation that surrounded the social life of everyone in this "click" that inflicted violence. I am very sorry that this foolishness had to come to this level and I am not taking up for my friends because they were very wrong… Cameron and O' Dinge were quiet and peaceful young men … I am very devastated about this but I hope that by their deaths, we will realize that life is precious and should not be taken for granted.

My respects no longer “westside” but “unified.” §

Ding always referred to my little sisters and I as his 'little cousins'. Sometimes I find myself crying when I think about everything Ding means to me… I would just
like Ding to know we love him and miss him a lot.

GOOD-BYE BIG COUSIN.

It is a pity the day Dinge and Cameron died. I went off to college and Dinge was the last person I saw. To Ding's family, especially his mother keep the faith you have a blessing coming from above; the Lord has done this for a good reason, Dinge was save so he will live in heaven, which is a better place. To Katrina, Ding always told me to take good care of you so you can guess who this is... Love you forever; cause now you are my little sister.

As we grow older and time moves on it will become another death… Their names will be forgotten and the 19^th day of August 1999 will be only a day to the world that is past and forgotten. To my sons, sister, brothers, lovers, & niggaz, we will never forget them nor get over them. Know that JAH sees all and in his name justice is served. One love and peace to Sea Breeze. JAH RASTAFARI!

I just wanted to express my sympathy to the families of both Cameron and Ding.
Ding was a cousin of mine and he will be sadly missed.
My sincere prayers go out to both families especially to Dings’ Mom and Grandmother.

It is unbelievable, the extremes that people take to prove that they
are "bad". Little do they know that one day the tables will turn, and
they would turn so hard that they would topple over landing hard upon
those who wish to be "known." May Dinge and Cameron Rest in Peace!!!
- Chantell Darville

Ding was my boy and it hurt to hear while away from home that he died in such a way. The only important thing I have to say is that "Everything that goes around comes around!” So keep the vibe alive and remember the love that they showed us.
Do not ever let it die. Yes niah!

Cameron & Dinge were true soldiers, “real niggaz”, and most of all, Breeze Boys lovers. They will be missed very deeply but never forgotten. And to all the other “niggaz” who are “bigging up” themselves about their deaths, trust me justice will be served.
God Bless Cameron and Dinge.

Yves is not the type of person he is rumored to be. He is a nice and caring young individual who was just in the wrong car at the wrong time. He doesn’t have a “record” like his three cousins. He cried when he heard that Cameron and O’Dinge died.

I didn’t consider Cameron and Ding a friend;
I saw them as my brothers...
May true justice be served.

They took the lives of my blood brothers but death could not take their names and sprit from within me, life goes on so there memories will to forever…

Roger who goes to the College of the Bahamas is “praise” by his friends. He walks around campus as if owns the place- the height of arrogance. I wonder if he realizes that his freedom is hanging on a pendulum.
-Anonymous

I really did not know Ding. It was just an occasional "what you saying," but we knew each other's name. I am sympathetic towards the family, friends affected, and I pray that there will be peace in the Bahamas. I know exactly how you people feel because two months ago one of my real boys was murdered on Hawkins Hill over foolishness. My friends and I miss him like crazy and it was a sad funeral because you knew he wasn't coming back... Therefore, I know how you feel, its going to be hard to continue with out them but stay strong 'cause with prayer anything is possible.
-Anonymous

I just want to say that you have done an excellent job with this
website. This was a wonderful idea to commemorate their deaths.
Keep it up and know that many out there are mourning
with you...including those who were not immediately associated with them.
Hold on to the memory cause they will last forever. One Love!
-Anonymous

I never knew Cameron or O' Dinge
but I felt as though I wish I did.
This story has touched me and has brought emotions
that I haven’t felt in a long time. I wish the families all the
happiness in the world but I am so terribly sorry for the tragedy they have to endure.
-Larnado Major

I truly miss you, since you are not here.
I do everything I'm supposed to do trying to act normal and
happy when all of a sudden I see something that reminds me
of you and I sadly realize how far you are away...For a few minutes
I stop everything I am doing and I think about you and the memories.
This brings a real smile to my face and helps me to get through the day.
However, it sure would be nicer if you were here.
-Torriana

Yes it was sad to see the death of two young men go out that way,
and it was also sad to see that in order for a war to stop God had
to take their lives. I knew the both of them...but to be honest
we were not friends we were enemies. I feel for there families
because I have lost many boys and relatives to violent deaths.
Yes we in the "West Side community" are sorry for
their deaths and don't blame all of us because of the
irresponsibility of three, but let us end the rivalry…
No one else has to DIE!!!
The Lord has shown me the light over the past few months and
if you continue to ignore his calling, then peace be with you but to those who
accept him may the lord be your light and salvation.
