The sudden passing of popular television personality Reyaz Hussain on Friday has been a shock for many of his local following and acquaintances, and condolences have been pouring in to cushion the grief of his family.
Hussain, who hosted the “NTN This Morning” show for over two decades, died after complaining of feeling unwell.
He was also a public announcer at the regional and international cricket matches held in Guyana. Upon learning of his passing, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) recognised him as a long-serving member of the Georgetown Cricket Club and Everest Cricket Club.
“On occasions, he also performed the duties of moderator at official functions of the Guyana Cricket Board. Just recently, Reyaz officiated as the moderator at the opening ceremony of the LBI Floodlight facility and portrayed his usual charismatic and embracing approach in delivering his presentation,” the Club noted.
At the Georgetown Cricket Club, Reyaz performed the roles of second division captain and coach-mentor for young players; while at the Everest Cricket Club, he was an executive member, club captain, as well as coach-mentor.
The GCB also recognised Hussain for the friendly, cohesive, passionate and professional personality which he brought to public announcing, regarding his passing as a great loss.
