According to My eldest brother Shurland Anthony Mayers “My Little Brother Stephen Andre Gittens that’s what I called Stephen, and he would respond yes Doc. So much so that Laura asked him if I was a doctor). Stephen was a humble young man who didn’t seek the spotlight; he preferred to sit in the back ground. When I left Barbados, Stephen was 18 years old so I only heard about his sermons from relatives and friends who paid glowing tributes to him. Such as “we could do with him in the USA he would be great; I would listen to him all day; he must perform my marriage ceremony; when I die I want him to conduct my service.” I would convey these sentiments to him and he would give his famous chuckle and say behave yourself.Stephen loved sports dearly, especially cricket; and as a youngster he would spend all day playing cricket during summer vacation. Our mum would have great difficulty getting him to come inside to eat. I took Stephen to Kensington Oval to see Australia Vs the West Indies. He never forgot that occasion and would give me a ball by ball description of the events that occurred that day including how my co-workers from the Post Office and I reacted to the events of the day. Stephen loved to debate and would debate you on any subject, but make sure you have you facts before you start. Many nights when I am home for vacation Stephen, Arnott, William and I, would sometimes have lengthy and lively debates, on all types of topics. Sometimes Emerald would join us. Being the oldest brother I always felt it was my duty to protect my younger siblings. It’s ironic that when my siblings and I played church I was always the priest or pastor, but as life would have it, it was Stephen, My Little Brother, who grew up and became a pastor. I loved My Little Brother dearly, the way he lived his life was the perfect example of the way I had envisioned myself living. Over the years Stephen and I became very, very close, we would talk on the phone for hours at night. So much that Laura would always tease him by asking him if he had just finished his session. We had our last session on Thursday night it lasted more than 1 1⁄2 hours. This was a short session which ended with me saying to him “go take your rest, we will talk later, you sound tired, I love you, stay strong, stay safe. I was planning to call him on Saturday night. I sent him a text at 7:37 that night, but before I could call him he went home to see his King. Stephen was a very religious individual who served the Lord with pride, he practiced what he preached. He was a loving husband, father, brother, son, friend. He would go above and beyond to assist others never expecting anything in return. You could depend on him for sound advice and words of encouragement; for example, Stephen sharedSupport the showCultural Factors Influence Academic Achievements© 2024 ISBN978-976-97385-7-7 A_MEMOIR_OF_Dr_William_Anderson_Gittens_D_D_2024_ISBNISBN978_976_97385_0_8 Academic.edu.
