Seven years ago I stood with a number of tourists in Jamaica near the rocks watching the barracuda hunters. One of them came swimming with a bright pink container of fried barracuda for me. “That's a nice marriage proposal,” someone joked. "Yes, soon I will live here in a house on top of the hill"...I fantasized. I didn't realize how true that would become. The barracuda tasted good. Not only did Anthony hunt for barras, but he also got me the hook. His wooden house became our house and I helped him build a stone house. For years I came up with a plan to make him more financially independent. Until I came up with a beautiful plan. We started Camping Green Island. We met Backpacking Simon, who made fantastic videos of Anthony, as 'The Barracudahunter', but also as a super host and guide. He worked really hard on it and it started to take off. Through Anthony's eyes, Jamaica became a paradise for me and a second home. He has me Called every day for 7 years. He inspired me enormously, my creativity kept flowing. I knitted socks, crocheted Rasta bikini tops, made reggae jewelry, wrote a children's book about The Barracudahunter from Jamaica, a Beebs Rasta dolls series, I exhibited underwater photos of him, Zahra started a Gofundme so he could buy a motorcycle, I gave yoga classes and with this everything I created a future for us. He worked very hard on the campsite. I invited him to the Netherlands several times, took him to Santorini, to Berlin and to the high snow in Norway. He thoroughly enjoyed it. We experienced hilarious moments. He worked in the kitchen at my work, cooking was his passion. He did everything for me, that's how he showed his love. He was already crazy about my grandchild, whom he never got to meet and couldn't wait to welcome 'Likkle Malcom' into his yard. Until he was met near his house early on Thursday morning, March 21. He was shot in the head, and his house... in which there was nothing of value... was broken into. Robbed of HAPPINESS.... He leaves behind many people in great sorrow, from Japan, Jamaica, Germany, Sweden, America, France, Denmark and the Netherlands. We were two completely different people, but I will love him forever. I will continue with his energy, he continues to inspire me. I'm sorry Please forgive me thank you I love you (Ho'oponopono) Beebs
What A Profound Story Of Life & Love & Friendship..... May His Memory Live On Through Your Words Forever! I Seek Inspiration From Your Joy And Now I Share Your Sorrow...... Thank You
Wtf man! What did he even do, why do people and their ego s find themselves doing horrible things to other people like this? The guy was a good man, didn't deserve to part like that. I'm beside myself heating this news. Bringing such bad vibes to Jamaica 😢🤬
RIP Anthony. Met him while on holiday with my wife and children. My daughter even have a picture of him on her wall in her room. Such a nice man full of laughter. It was a pleasure meeting him after following Simons channel. Keep doing the good work Simon, hope you’re doing well after this very sad new
@@NATURALMYSTICMKthere doesn't have to be more to the story. Jealousy is next level in Jamaica. I've lost 2 people that way, and one almost from a ridiculous argument over him not lending out his damn shoes. What used to be only in certain areas and certain people is spreading.
I first saw Anthony on Jessica Cargil channel,man that guy was so passionate about taking care of his guests.Always have have a smile on his face. Rest in power king.THE WHEEL OF JUSTICE GRIND SLOWLY BUT SURELY... .
Took me a while to handle this same as with Chucky that video i had paused for an hour yesterday. It hit me so hard i cried so today bought some white rum and some herb too smoke to honor them both. JAH BLESS! BIG UP CHICKY AND ANTHONY! May god welcome you both with open arms in heaven.
I had the pleasure of meeting Anthony and his partner last year. He was a warm and decent human being, they both were so open and friendly to me. Very sad news to hear someone took his life away. Condolences to his family.
RIP Anthony, As A Jamaican Simon I Can Tell You That The People Here Is Very Badmind/Envious They Don't Like To See Anyone Becoming Successful So I Believe Anthony Was Murdered Simply Because People Are Jealous Of Him Becoming Rich From Doing TH-cam With You Guys But Little Do They Know TH-cam Is Not Easy As It Looks. STAY AWAY FROM JAMAICA BRO IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD REASONS BEING HERE❗❗
yeah, this. It didn't just happen for no reason, this was targeted and definitely came from jealousy. really unlucky for dude, pretty much got doxxed unintentionally. Surprised chucky is even alive, I think his home is more developed than anthonys though I feel maybe anthony's was easy to find. I am pretty sure I remember a video showing exactly how to get to his house which made me question things & now here we are
I’m not a Jamaican but I did notice what happened to Carlton Barret and Peter Tosh and what you are saying is in line with what happened to them although money was more directly involved with them.
RIP Anthony . Its really sad that you shut down the Freelance Jamaica channel. Was always a highligt for me when a new video came live. Anyway, wish you all the best guys. Bali is not interesting for me.
RIP brother Anthony. I think we will always heal from life’s challenges and take scent death as a sign to be more grateful to be living. God bless you, community. God bless you Simon. All the best in Bali.
I’m so saddened and in complete shock about his passing, people are just so badmind. Anthony seemed like such a caring, loving, gentle man…..May he rest in beautiful peace! 🙏🏻 😢🙏🏻
Wow. I'm incredibly sorry to hear about Anthony. Rest on King! Simon, I'm so, sorry that you won't return. Enjoy your new country with Lisa. We respect you, and all you vlogged about freelance living in Jamaica. We hope you return again in the future.
Oh god how terribly sad and tragic to hear of brother Anthony's tragic passing . May he fly on in a love and power we can't even fathom here on earth. Ride high brother
So sad to hear about the loss of Anthony, big up backpacking simon. It seems to me that your are a talent finder after chucky and now anthony. Wishing you all the best.
R.I.P Chucky cant believe you gone man, just seen some updates saying he was in a crash on his bike. gutted i never got the chance to come and visit and meet him been entertaining me on TH-cam for years
I'm deeply saddened by Antony's passing. It's hard to comprehend why someone would want to harm him. We need to understand the motives behind this tragedy-whether it was a targeted attack or a robbery gone wrong. It's crucial for people to come forward with any information to ensure justice for Antony. Those responsible must face the consequences, as karma has a way of returning what's given. Antony, you were a kind soul, taken from us too soon. 😢🕊🕊🕊🙏
Devastated to hear this news, after watching one of your videos with Anthony we by chance met him on our last trip to Jamaica , he was so lovely , myself my husband and the kids were all fond of him, my daughter even has a picture of him on her wall with a large barracuda in his hand, very very saddened to hear this heartbreaking news 😢💔
man rest in peace chucky even though the recent drama u didn't deserve this rest easy brother and rest easy anthony hope ur both chillin in zion with mr marley smoking big spliffs R.I.P
I am gutted at the news Simon. Antony seemed like such a good guy and I was looking forward to the videos with him after the situation with Chucky. I honestly don’t blame you for not wanting to go back to Jamaica now. What is there for you? No Chucky now no Antony! Keep up the good work anyway Rest in Eternal Peace Antony
Is there ever such a thing as Paradise on this Earth⁉️ I grieve for Anthony. Such a nice and kind person. Simon, So sorry your Jamaica Adventures has ended with such tragedy. God Bless you and Lisa wherever you travel❗️❤️🙏🏽
Sorry to hear the news Simon. Life has been a bit tough for you for a while there. First the Chucky incident, and now this. I am glad to hear you and Lisa are good. I hope the move to the new country(I'm guessing Indonesia, but I'll check later) is treating you well. I will miss the Jamaican content, but so it goes. Maybe later something else will eventuate? Take Care ❤
OMG SIMON!...I have just heard about Chucky! I am absolutely gutted!😫 I am sure you are devastated. First Anthony,now Chucky!💔 I'm so sorry for your loss. Stay strong my man❤🙏🏽
