According to Alfred, Mr. Angol began his teaching journey at the CHS in 2014 and he quickly established himself as an exceptional educator in physics, mathematics, and ICT.”
“His technical expertise did not go unnoticed and he has left a significant imprint on that school,” she stated.
Alfred continued, “In this moment of profound sadness we are reminded of the timeless truth that losing a son is a mother’s agony that knows no equal.”

On behalf of the Ministry of Education and the Government of Dominica Alfred extends deepest condolences to the family, especially his mother, friends, loved ones of Mr Angol, the teachers, students, and the Principal at the CHS.
“May God strengthen all of us in this time of grief,” Alfred said.

“Whether he taught a student or not, you’d become familiar when he put his cape on and saved our day from Internet and technology woes. He once was titled DJ Boyles ‘Law when he once provided music services at CHS activities and assemblies. He helped tremendously in the timetabling of CHS staff and subjects…,” the post said. “A gentle giant, funny, hardworking, determined, committed. Kevin… this is so hard…this is unbelievable. But as people who look to the Lord, this is not the end. We send condolences to his mom and family.”
