  12. God looked around his Garden & found an empty place. He then looked down upon His earth & saw your loving face.He put His arms around you & lifted you to rest.His Garden must be beautiful,he always takes the best. As the days come and go,& the world moves on, we know you're still here,you'll never be gone, on the night the angel came & took your hand, we cried as you left for an unknown land.But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight. For your soul was a diamond,shining so bright.

  13. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, loves leave a memory no one can steal.May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back.May the sunshine warm upon your face May the rain fall soft upon your field and until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of his hands.

    "We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought of you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence; we often speak your name, now all that we have are momories and picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which we will never part, God has you in his arms; we have you in our hearts".

  15. Dax you you were truly an individual who was highly respected by all of the Holiday Inn Staff on a whole not just your team members, and you were an inspiration and a blessing from the almighty but God has something better in store for you, great plans indeed and you were one of his chosen. RIP Dax until we meet in heaven.
    God Bless you and your family who mourns with us at the Holiday Inn Management and Staff on a whole.

  16. My name is Janice and I am a repeat VIP guest to the Holiday Inn. I was so saddened to hear about the death of my dear friend Dax. He was truly an exceptional and compassionate human being and I ALWAYS looked forward to seeing his smiling face when I travelled to Jamaica. I will miss him so much because he was more than just an employee to me, he was the TOTAL package. Rest on my dear friend and know that even in death you are LOVED so much.

  17. Such an awesome person! Always addressed him by name when saying hi and he in return did the same with a little smile. Dax for me could have been one of my family relative.

    His delivery of service was impeccable. He displayed all the fine qualities of an excellent Restaurant Server.

    You are truly missed. I wish that the hands of time could turn back and have you here with us still. But God in his infinite wisdom knows best. May you rest in His peace.

  20. The Holiday Family has lost a dear team member, in Dax Allen. A helpful, humble, respectful and truly service oriented gentleman was he. Let us honour Dax by being the shining example he was, let us make him proud ……. Remember those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear. May the Lord strengthen his family and friends during this period of bereavement.

  31. Dax was such an exemplary server, a professional team player indeed. He was one who made you smile even if you weren't thinking of wearing a smile for the day. He will be sadly missed by all especially his immediate co-workers (Sorrento staff). May his soul rest in peace.

  32. "let not your heart be troubled, ye who believe in God, believe also in me. I will not leave you comfortless, I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you maybe also." (family)

    There is no definate word to describe such a vibrant,caring and dedicated individual. This we can all say, that he has touched our lives in one way, or the other. This bright flower has been ripped out of our eyes, before it could have reached its full beauty, but the light which it left behind, will truely shine deep in our hearts for ever. 'ol school dax' from way back wen,you will be sadly missed. Sleep on dax and take you rest. may your soul rest in peace.

  33. Today makes it one week since you've passed and it seems like it was yesterday, we are still in disbelief, sigh........ Dax yuh really gone lef we? but then i start to think of the type of person you were and i start to smile again, we have such wonderful memories of you and you will not be forgotten."Tears are God’s gift to us. Our holy water. They heal us as they flow". "If tears could build a stairway,and memories a lane,I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again" R.I.P my dear friend.

  34. Dax, I still can’t believe that your really gone, it seems like it was just yesterday you were right here talking and laughing with me. I feel like I am going crazy when I think about the fact that I am never gonna see you again until we meet in heaven, I am going to miss you my dear friend, I am gonna miss all the little talks and laughs we use to have, who am I gonna call and bother when I don’t know what to do or I’m feeling miserable, I am surely gonna miss your smile my good friend, you know i always look forward to seeing you every day except Thursdays(your day off). When the staff bus drives in, I know that your coming to look for me before you go on property for work. I keep asking my self why god had to take such a good person from us, so sudden. Your always warn and gentle, Dax I am surely gonna miss hearing you say Nice lady, Pretty lady or Ms. Nicole can I have a word with you please. So humble and caring, always have something encouraging to say, I have never seen you upset and even if you were, it didn’t show; you always use that bright smile of yours to hide it. You’re my guardian angel now. You will always be in my thoughts and in my heart. R.I.P dax my friend forever.

  43. When I learned of the news of your passing, I could not believe it. There was no way in the world that OUR Dax could be gone. The Dax that welcomed us back to Jamaica with the warmest smile and most loving hug...the Dax who would go to ANY lengths to ensure that we were happy and well taken care of the duration of our stay at the resort...the Dax me and my mother ADORED??? As I sit here typing with tears streaming down my face, I am finally coming to grips with the reality that I will not see you again on this side. But through these tears a smile has appeared because I know that I will see you again my dear friend...Wait for me and my mother in Paradise...We soon come. ;-)

    Love Always,
    Janelle Jones (Repeat guest from Maryland...Daughter of Janice Jones)

  44. I remember a month before u passed I saw you at a wake and you came over hugged me and my sister and greeted us as your 'favourite cousins'. I nvr imagined the next funeral would be yours. It hurt so much I can't explain, but God knows best. You will always be in my memory. I love you my cousin........:(
