Former United Bermuda Party election candidate Keith Young Jr. has died while on a business trip in Alabama.

The Royal Gazette understands that he passed away sometime between last night and lunchtime today.

The father-of-six, who was manager of banking operations at Capital G, ran unsuccessfully for the Opposition in last month’s Pembroke East Central by-election, following the death of Health Minister Nelson Bascome.

He leaves behind wife Roxanne and children Shaquille, Justin, Shequilla, Deeon, Shannette and Jae’tremae.
