The United Progressive Party (UPP) is mourning the loss of one of its stalwarts, former Member of Parliament for St George, Nathaniel “Nat Moses” Francis.
In a statement, the party described Francis as both a “living hero” and a dedicated servant of the people, noting that his passing marks the end of an era for many who admired his commitment to public life and community service.
“Today we celebrate a living hero but must also mourn the passing of a stalwart,” the statement read. “Our former MP for St. George has transitioned from this life. Our sincere and deepest condolences to his immediate family, the wider UPP family and all others who mourn this loss.”
The party also released a tribute image honouring Francis, affectionately known as “The Smooth Golden Voice,” highlighting his years of service and his impact on national development.
In extending condolences, the UPP said:
“The United Progressive Party wishes to extend condolences to his family and all those who mourn his loss. May the Angels lead you into paradise; may the Martyrs come to welcome you and take you to the Holy City; the new and eternal Jerusalem.”
Francis was remembered not only for his political contributions but also for his influence in broadcasting, where his distinctive baritone voice became a beloved part of the national soundscape.
He leaves behind a legacy of service, dedication, and excellence that continues to inspire colleagues, constituents, and listeners across Antigua and Barbuda.
