JMMC MOURNS THE PASSING OF GARTH MOODIE
Today is an exceptionally sad day for the Jamaican motorsport community as we mourn the passing of Garth Moodie, a man whose contribution to our sport, particularly in nurturing and developing young talent, has left an immeasurable and lasting legacy.
The son of the legendary Peter Moodie, an icon and pioneer of Jamaican motorsport, Garth proudly followed in his father’s footsteps, carrying forward a family legacy deeply rooted in the history and development of our sport.
However, Garth carved out a legacy of his own, not merely through his involvement in motorsport, but through his unwavering dedication to the next generation of Jamaican drivers. To so many young competitors, Garth was far more than a team member, mentor or supporter. He was a father figure, a source of encouragement, wisdom and guidance, and someone who genuinely believed in their potential.
Many of Jamaica’s young drivers have gone on to achieve remarkable success, both locally and on the international stage, undoubtedly benefiting from Garth’s mentorship, commitment and tireless support. His influence extended far beyond the racetrack, helping to shape not only successful competitors but also the individuals they would become.
His passing represents a tremendous loss to our motorsport family, and the void he leaves behind will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
On behalf of the Jamaica Millennium Motoring Club (JMMC), its Executive, members and the wider motorsport fraternity, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to his family, particularly Lisa and Mark, his mother Marie, and his siblings Ishmael, Peter, Irene and Tonia.
Garth, your contribution to Jamaican motorsport will never be forgotten. Your legacy will live on through the many young lives you touched, the careers you helped shape and the generations of drivers you inspired.
Rest in peace, Garth. Thank you for everything you gave to Jamaican motorsport.
You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. 🕊️
