The family of Denroy Thomas sends out their condolence to the family of Bradley Watson, they are truly sorry for their loss, they understand that no words can take away the pain their feeling, but they are truly sorry. They would like the public to know that Denroy was not raised up that way, he was raised in church by two wonderful christian parents, in his late teenage years he could not afford to follow the rules of his home and turn to his friends, his family was unaware of him being homeless because he is not known to share is whereabouts with them, his family was under the impression that he lives with his female partner. All these does not cover for what he has done and his family are truly sorry and their prayers are with Bradley’s family. They do not have enough words to express their sympathy and they pray that god will give Bradley’s family the strenght and the courage to deal with their loss.
