Statement of Condolence
Issued by Fabian Stennett, Chief of Furry Town Maroons, on behalf of the Maroons of St. James and St. Elizabeth
The Maroons of St. James and St. Elizabeth join the nation and the wider reggae fraternity in mourning the passing of Fantan Mojah (Owen Lennox Moncrieffe), a proud son of St. Elizabeth whose voice carried the spirit of Rastafari, resilience, and truth to the world.
Fantan Mojah's journey — from White Hill to international stages — embodied the same fighting spirit that has always defined our Maroon heritage: the will to rise, to speak truth to power, and to remain rooted in identity and faith no matter the distance travelled. His music gave voice to struggles and hopes shared across our communities, and his passing leaves a silence that will be deeply felt.
On behalf of the Maroons of St. James and St. Elizabeth, we extend our deepest condolences to his children, family, the Bobo Ashanti community, and all who loved him through his music. May his spirit find rest, and may his works continue to inspire generations to come.
Walk good, General Fantan.
— Fabian Stennett
Chief, Furry Town Maroons
