Vaughn Benjamin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 22, 2019.
Vaughn passed away on Monday, November 4, 2019. After careful consideration, his parents, with the full support of his entire family, life partner and children, have decided to ship his body to Antigua for burial according to Vaughn's wishes. Interment will be private. We are aware of the gathering that has already taken place on the island to acknowledge his contributions to the reggae community in the territory and his accomplishments abroad and we are grateful.

Depuis que je vous ai découvert, a vos concerts de Midnite à Akae Beka, je n'ai jamais oublié ni occulté vos paroles et cet ancrage culturel qui nous habite tous.
Pour ma part, je me plonge au rappel, au suivi de votre livre d'appel du Koll Pekude.
Repose en Paix parmi les Anciens, dans la Tour aux Trésors.
Je suis des Caraïbes, de l'île de la Martinique et je vis en France.

Gone from the flesh but your spirit is eternal. You are loved immensely. I'm deeply hurt and saddened but I know that you are right there beside The Almighty. You've mastered this earthly plain. It was time for your power and works to expand to an even higher level. Continue to guide and teach us from Zion. I'm so happy I got to personally witness your teachings before your transition. We will miss you dearly but we will continue the works from here. Until such time we meet again Vaughn, the Legend, the teacher, the Prophet..Rastafari

The first time I was introduced & witnessed Midnite/Akea Beka many years ago at SOB's in NYC., it was such a magical & memorable experience. It was evident a KINGman had arrived to share the teachings of TRUTH & RIGHTEOUSNESS to the masses.
He would "wake up" ANY sleeping mind.
He came to deliver poetic & prolific words of wisdom.
Akea Beka fulfilled his cycle of livity inna this I-niverse. His has transitioned inna the physical realm and will remain always & 4 I-ver thru his teachings & his music.
Give Thanks!!

An Avid Supporter from "Rock" truly was broken up when it became Real that De Man himself, "Akae Beka" had taken his last breath. Rest in Zion KING!❤
