Khemnarine Ramnarine was a loving husband and father, he leaves to mourn his wife of 68 years - Phoolo Khemnarine, his children Vera Harrilal, Mala Boodoo, Naipaul (Nio) Ramnarine, Rajendra Khemnarine, Sudesh Ramnarine and deceased daughter Radica Khemnarine. Khem migrated to Florida, but also leaves behind his extended family in Trinidad & Tobago. His 14 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren have fond memories of his love of music and entertaining. Khem spread joy whenever he played his harmonium (organ) and sang his favorite songs drawing in crowds in awe of his music. At a young age, Khemnarine was a sharp dresser and placed family at the center of everything he did, in his later years he made his loved ones laugh with tales of his youth, bringing to life the nickname “Metro”. He loved nature, especially tending to birds and we can all remember his favorite parrot Charlie calling out his name excitedly whenever he would see him. Khemnarine lived a full and happy life and emphasized we are children of God – “He is where our help comes from …maker of Heaven and Earth (Psalm 121). He will be missed dearly.
