    Papay as I called you, you were not just my boss, you were my father and my devine helper that God sent my way. I still can’t wrapped my head around your passing. It still seems like a dream that I will wake up from and send you messages as always and you will respond. Ever since you left when you retired you were always sending me messages and checking on me like a father will do to his daughter. We can’t question God why cause He knows all. All I can say is I blessed God for the time I got to know you and worked with you. You thought me so much in my career. Those memories I will forever cherished. Go and take your rest papay till we meet again. May God console your family and all of us.

My condolences to you and the entire family at this difficult time. It is well with Mr. Gill’s soul. Shalom and peace to you all. Amen🙏🙏💔. #The Gunners. # Arsenal

    Hey Brother, it was great serving with you—Israel. You were an amazing leader, mentor, and example of what cool and calm demeanor looks like. Rest well my friend and prayers to your Family. I have several amazing pictures of your family from their visit 12+ years ago. Peace and prayers.

    I never thought it would come to this moment to post his passing.

    A few months ago, we were together in Entebbe.
    We discussed the upcoming UN Games, Life After Retirement, and other things a few weeks ago.
    We crack jokes about the Killer!!.
    Hours before it happened, you sent this message:

    “Don’t let the Enemy deceive you. Your body, no matter its shape or condition, is a powerful weapon against darkness. Don’t give in to spiritual, emotional, or physical frustration. Remember you are made in the image of God.”

    You left me with questions, Gill…that you cannot answer now.
    You were a mentor to me and many others. I wish you could see your impact on the people you meet, as reflected in the many words posted today.
    You were not just a Chief; you were a confidant, a source of strength, and a beacon of light for many. Your laughter, kindness, and unwavering support brought joy to everyone around you.
    Senior Brother, Big Boss, my heart is heavy as I bid farewell to my friend. Your absence has left an irreplaceable void in our lives, and our shared memories will forever be cherished.

    Goodbye, dear friend, lie down and rest.
    Goodbye Glendon…..

    Today, we say goodbye to someone truly special, our dear friend and colleague, Gelendon Gill, or as may always called him, Glen.

    Glen had that rare gift of lighting up every room he walked into, not just with his warm smile and quick wit, but with the way he made each person feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether it was a deep conversation or a laugh that echoed down the hallway, Glen had a way of reminding us all that work doesn’t have to be just about the tasks, it’s about the people.

    He was a bright light in the UN family, and that light will be deeply missed. But we carry it forward in the love, the laughter, and the little moments he so generously gave to all of us.

    Thank you, Glen, for being wonderfully you. You are already deeply missed!

    Pressious in the site of God is the death of his saints. May these words bring solace to the family and friends and colleagues of Steve and may we mourn not as those who have no hope. Steve, may you rejoice in the arms of our loving God. Thank you for all the good that your life has brought to many of. My last memory of you is a good one, you enjoying a bit of family fellowship at Charmaine’s. You were your loving, jovial srlf and that’s how I choose to remember you. Condolences from the Aaron/ Valentine families to all your lived one during this time of grief.

    Boss, General, as I have always called you. You never agreed to be called Chief. Whenever someone calls you Chief, your answer is MY NAME IS GILL. General, you have been everything to me. You have been my mentor, my teacher, my defender towards others, and I thank you for that. I pray to God for your eternal rest. God’s decision cannot be questioned.

    I would like to express my sentiments on behalf of a friend and MINUSMA colleague who has passed away. During the time we worked together, I was fortunate enough to witness his passion, dedication, and hard work firsthand. He was not just a MINUSMA college, but also a mentor and friend who always went above and beyond to help others. His presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy will continue to live on in all of us who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in peace.

    Dear Glendon, I still remember our first encounter in Haiti in 2015 as you introduced me to our brother Winston. We later met in Mali and since then, it has been a brotherhood all along. Thank you for reminding all of us that humility and goodness of the heart are the best legacy one may leave on our time in this planet. I have nothing but good things to say about your leadership (FSU and Transport) and camaraderie, as a colleague and a big brother always giving us advice. Rest in peace brother knowing that you have fought the good fights and kept hope in all of us. Jean Martin

    Glendon, a true gentlemen, always so respectful with our staff and a valued customer, we shared some good times, discussing over an after hours drink, playing five a side with the staff, and watching the cricket World Cup, there are not many Chiefs that really fit into your category, of a real gentlemen in and out of work, a sad loss our thoughts and prayers are with the family, RIP

    Don’t believe i am writing something like this because I still don’t believe that this is true and real. My dearest friend and big brother as I used to call him that I found in the UN (MINUSMA), Wow, will miss the jokes, the laughter, the advice and especially the trust you had in me, the stories we shared, and the friendship will always remain with me. He was a very unique and amazing person with principles, who stood for what was right, you never when back on your words or promises. My deepest condolences to the family. May his gentle and sweet soul rest in perfect peace.

    My dear Glendon, I am at a loss for words. But I tell myself if I’m writing this now, it must really be true, that you are no longer with us. It meant so much working with another Trini colleague – from the time we first met in Haiti to later working together in Mali. You were more than a compatriot, you were a friend, mentor, big brother and fearless advocate for your staff and colleagues. I cherish all of the good times we shared, endless jokes and laughter with Winston, Meli and your crew. I will never forget your kindness, your smile and your spirit. I am grateful to have met most of your siblings and your beloved Mother, and I continue to pray for them and your children. God definitely called you for a higher purpose and we are blessed to have known you. May you sleep in heavenly peace my dear, Glendon.

    Like many friends and family, I am still in shock. Glendon, you really are an extraordinary and kind person, always cheerful and ready to help in any situation.
    I had the privilege of working with you at TPT/Haiti and TPT/Mali and over the years I learned so much from your wisdom, dedication and generosity. During the last years at the UN, we were together in Gao, where we shared many beautiful moments that I will always cherish.
    Just a few weeks ago, on April 27, in Valencia, I had the joy of seeing you again. You were radiant, full of life, embracing your retirement with the same warmth and positivity that characterized you.
    Glendon, you were more than a colleague, you were my boss, my teammate, my friend and my big brother. Now, you walk hand in hand with God, and I trust that you are at peace, surrounded by eternal love.
    We miss you very much, Glendon.
    Rest in peace.
    My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

    Glendon, you embodied so much of what living ones best life represented. Only God knows why he decided to make the best of your life brief. Your kindness, loyalty, dedication, and commitment in always standing up for what was right made you a rare human in a world where conformity has become the norm. May the Good Lord open the path to eternal life and peace for you. Rest in Peace and Power my dear friend, until we meet again.
    “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39.

    I can’t rap my head around this one. I am still at a loss for words. My Trini brother who was so selfless, kind, accommodating and full of compassion. We met in Haiti and connected right away. I am happy that we remained in touch over the years and I would forever cherish those memories.

    Rest in perfect peace and condolences to the entire family.

    I was saddened to hear of the passing of the colleague. Though I did not have the opportunity to know him personally, I understand he was a valued member of the United Nations community. Please accept my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege to work alongside with him. His contributions to the missions of peace keeping will be remembered with respect and gratitude.

    We were sad to hear the news of our cousins dad passing! Although I didn’t know Mr. Steve Gill personally. I know Cherisse always spoke highly of all the things she did with her dad. She has spoken on their adventures, the meetings, the joy they shared. She smiled when her dad was mentioned and that alone spoke volumes of the type of man he was. Please accept our condolences and keep that same smile when thinking about Mr. Gill. He will forever be in your heart!

    Dear Gill, it is hard to process the reality that you have gone to a better place. There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will be in our hearts.” I recall in 2019, you told me to be positive and learn how to be independent, “Life is for living”. I am so grateful for your mentorship and friendship. Gill, your kind heart and generous spirit will stay on this planet forever. You will be missed always. May God welcome your soul with love and happiness. Rest well, Gill, the man with a golden heart. May God comfort your family.

    Steve, to know you is to love you. You are such a warm, loving and inviting soul. You are the epitome of someone full of joy who exuded that unapologetically. It was an honor to know you, to have been in your presence and to call you a friend. I know that is the legacy you will leave with us. Live, laugh and love. Your jovial carefree spirit will truly be missed by all. May we celebrate your joyful life today and every day. You are deeply missed.

    Cricket was an instant and common cause for an initial conversation! West Indian cricket, that is.
    That was way back in December 2013 in Damascus, at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel. You, Glendon, had come in from UNTSO and joined the most diverse band of colleagues in common purpose to work for the elimination of chemical weapons from Syria, a mission so profoundly different from traditional peacekeeping and an unimaginable agreed agenda by USA and Russia. Amidst colleagues from UNFICYP, UNIFIL, UNDOF, UN Secretariat (NY), OPCW, OCHA, local Syrian staff, and UNWRA, and an abundance of international fare, you helped to make me feel welcome and to prepare for challenging work at the port of Latakia.
    Sooner than I realised that initial conversation led to you supporting me for a fortnight in Latakia to ensure that preventive maintenance of the exclusively armoured vehicle fleet at my disposal was addressed. Fast forward a few years and we meet again in Mali, where you were a linchpin in Transport Section in Bamako. That allowed conversations on cricket and other sports, none more so than your passion for Arsenal and F1, especially Sir Lewis, to continue albeit with understandable differences of views from the Dutchman that I am -albeit internationally molded as indeed you too always have been. Talk on work and the other, often persistent, differences of opinion were fortunately low key.
    In all of this, never mind we did not know each other altogether well, you towered as a gentleman, exuding good grace, calm and a perpetual broad smile. I take heart that this will now continue from the all high and that you will persist in ensuring we have an example to follow with that same good grace, and to count our blessings for every cherished moment we had together as colleagues and friends. Keep the Gunners’ flag flying with the tifosi red championed by Sir Lewis while you rest in peace up there!
