Prime Minister Sarah Wescot Williams, Deputy Prime Minister Theodore Heyliger, Minister of Education Rhoda Arrindell and Minister of Labor Cornelius De Weever were among those who paid their last respects to the late Deygoo and his family.
Co-workers wept throughout the thanksgiving service since they saw Mark the day before he was shot multiple times in his store on Back Street.
