Born on October 29, 1922, Browne was a proud son of Freeman’s Village, a committed member of the Antigua Trades and Labour Union, and an active participant in Labour Day activities throughout his life.
“His legacy of service, resilience, and community pride has left an indelible mark for those who knew him and the wider national community,” Merchant said.
Browne was also recognised for his cultural contributions, having been featured in the Antigua Day documentary hosted at the Precision Centre.
The government extended condolences to the Browne family following his recent passing, and further details regarding the official naming ceremony will be announced in due course.
