What has been tremendously impressive and inspiring was Ewart’s determination to have a personal relationship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He did not want theory, fiction, or tradition, but the revelation of Sacred Scripture alone. His tenacity in the pursuit of Biblical knowledge about salvation is the powerful message he leaves behind for family, relatives, friends, and others. He has gone to be with his Blessed Savior. May grace, mercy and peace fall in showers upon his dear wife, son, daughter, grandchildren, and others who morn his departure from us.

Heartfelt condolences on the passing of Ewart. I still have to come to terms with this bit of news so I could only imagine what you are experiencing now.

I will always cherish the time we spent together as students at Northeastern College, at UWI and as colleagues in Toco Composite. Rest in Peace Ewart as the Angels welcome you into heaven.
My Dearest Uncle Ewart, you had a special way of relating to the youngest child to the oldest person in a room. It’s because you cared so deeply and went out of your way to make everyone feel loved.
Over the past 17 months I marveled at your resilience and unwavering faith in God. You epitomized the true expression of grace under fire because although your health faded you were full of courage and continued to extend kindness, patience & love. Though you’ve departed you will forever live on in our hearts. I love you dearly Uncle Ewart! Rest well with the Lord.

To the wife and family. It was with great sadness that I read of the passing of Ewart my colleague and friend who worked with me at the Ministry of Labor in Trinidad. Quiet, unassuming but diligent he always gave of his best in all his endeavors. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. May his soul rest in peace 🙏
May your soul rest in peace, Ewart. Thank you for the advice given me for my life in 2001 when we connected. I came across your name in a note book tonight as I had lost contact with you since 2003. When I googled your name to get your contact information, I came across this sad news about your passing.
Rest in peace, my dear brother. You touched many lives without knowing it. My deepest condolences to your loved ones and family.
