Only Two (2) Portraits Left in our Celebrity Artist Giveaway!
Our latest winner is Latoya Pedican of Grand Bahama Island who entered a photo of her late father-in-law, whom she never had the opportunity to meet due to his ill-fated and mysterious death in Grand Bahama 6 years ago. Latoya wrote in for The Celebrity Artist portrait giveaway contest on TheBahamasWeekly.com saying,
"My husband’s father lost his life in November 2007 when he was kidnapped from his job at Eight Mile Rock High School and then murdered. I recall the day when my husband (Vincent Charles Pedican) called devastated because the last voice message from his father was deleted from his phone. It was all he had left...his voice."
"My husband often talks about the anguish of never knowing how or why his father died, and reflects on the year before his passing, when for the first time he truly got to know the man whose name he carries. He holds on to those memories tightly. His father Vincent “Doc” Pedican was a stellar man from what I’ve been told, a well known Grand Bahamian fondly missed by all who knew him. For this reason I would love to have a portrait of my father in law drawn, as a keepsake to my husband, his grand children and to the future generations of Pedicans, that were not allowed the privilege to meet this well-loved man."
Latoya also provided us with the following link to an article on her father-in-law's passing: http://freeportarchive.nassauguardian.net/pubfiles/fpt/archive/im
Latoya met
Vincent (Jr)
during her high school years at Freeport Anglican High and reconnected with him when his father was murdered. They were married in November 2011, and the following year they moved to Belgium for his work in the US Army. Vincent is currently
