One cannot fully comprehend the sorrow and grief of the large family and many friends of 24-year-old Malik Weeks who was killed in a motor accident on Christmas Day.Malik was a son of the Hon. Michael Weeks, the Minister of Public Works in the recently ousted Bermuda Labour Party Government. He had come home for the Yuletide respite from his studies as Soneca University in Toronto, where he was majoring in Travel and Tourism.Along with other members of his closely-knit family, he had spent the afternoon and evening at the homestead of his maternal grandmother Mrs. Lois Dill Weeks in Pembroke. She is a prominent social worker and active worker at St. Paul AME Church, Hamilton. Mrs. Weeks had celebrated her 87th birthday only a week before the tragedy.She said Malik was the last one to leave her home that Christmas Day. It was around 11pm after receiving a friendly phone call. She was stunned receiving a phone call just over an hour later from one of her daughters to meet them at the King Edward V11 Memorial Hospital. They did not tell he why she should come. He was badly injured when his motor cycle crashed by the roadside in Hamilton Parish.Malik’s mother, Terrylyn Doyle and four other friends had gone to Barbados for Christmas. She took the first plane back to Bermuda. Malik was the father of a four-year-old daughter Maeisha. He was the eldest of two brothers, Marcus and Delji and sister Maeisha Ebone. They adored him for his polite manner, which made him most popular among his wide circle of friends.He had attended a children’s elementary school in Maryland before returning to Bermuda to study at Prospect Primary, then on to Clearwater Middle School in St. George’s, Mount Saint Agnes Academy, the Berkeley Institute, later Ridley College and Soneca University in Canada.
