Former PNM government minister and the party's deputy political leader Errol Mahabir died on Saturday.The announcement was made by Mahabir's son Colin.

We are heartbroken to share the news that Errol Edward Mahabir passed away on September 19, 2015 following a brief illness.

Errol was our loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend.

Errol Mahabir, who rose from very humble beginnings to national recognition, never forgot his origins. Errol was known for his 20-year tenure as a Minister of Government and the mayorship of his hometown of San Fernando.  During his years of public service, he served his Nation proudly, but he never sought praise or accolades.  Rather he was comfortable just knowing that he was doing the best that he could for his country.

After demitting office Errol became active in the business sector, assisting his family with the management of the Damus Group, and serving on numerous Boards of Directors in both the Public and Private Sectors.

As much as Errol cherished his privacy, he always appreciated the expressions of good will from people from all walks of life across the country and abroad. The Mahabir Family wishes to thank these people for their continued outpouring of love. Errol will be dearly missed.
