Does anyone know what they mean by "he was found" at Oil Slick Leap, did he have a heart attack?
Welcome to The Bonaire Reporter
We are sad to report the sudden death of a Bonaire Tourist industry icon, Jerry Ligon. Jerry was found yesterday, Wednesday, September 9, at the Oil Slick Leap dive site according to reports.
He was a humble, gentle, private man with a talent for getting Bonaire residents and visitors enthusiastic about the nature of Bonaire, especially its birds, butterflies and fish. He made his voice heard however, when he spoke out and defended the island's environment.
Numerous tourists said he was one of the reasons they loved Bonaire. Jerry's tours engendered that affection for the island he made his home for over 20 years.
Our condolences to his family and his friends.
Check Jerry's Facebook page for the expressions of the great loss people are feeling.
A memorial service is planned for Monday, September 14, 2015 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Bonaire's Consuelo Funeral Home.
