Mr. Noel Roy Foreshaw, age 63, of Brooklyn, NY, passed away April 16, 2020.
Noel was born in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, on October 12, 1956. He grew up in his beloved country, Jamaica, as his mother’s only son. “Blacka” as Noel was known, enjoyed playing soccer as a young man. In 1981, he was wed to Rhoma Creary and the couple moved to Brooklyn, NY, where Noel spent most of his life. He worked for the New York City Transit Authority in structural maintenance for 20 years. In March of 2020, Noel relocated to Georgia where he passed away shortly thereafter.
Noel had a heart for his two homes: Jamaica and Brooklyn. He was an excellent cook and specialized in Jamaican dishes. He spent 37 years in Brooklyn but would visit family and friends in Jamaica frequently. Noel enjoyed sports, particularly soccer, cricket, and basketball. He spent many years raising his daughter as a single father. He was a loving father who was very involved with his daughter’s schooling. He even won the “Father Of The Year Award” as his daughter’s school. Noel was a proud Grandpa to three grandchildren. He was a kind man but also very stubborn. Noel will be dearly missed by many loved ones.
Noel was preceded in death by mother: Linda Fletcher and his father: Gladstone Foreshaw. He is survived by ex-wife and lifelong friend: Rhoma Creary; his daughter: Ashley Noelle Foreshaw of New York; sons: Jomo Julius Foreshaw and his wife Melissa, and Jason Rory Foreshaw; grandchildren: Eshe, Archibald, and Robbie Foreshaw all of Portland, OR; brothers: Eric Augustus Foreshaw and Brian Michael Foreshaw; sister: Yvonne Lorraine Foreshaw, all of England.

So sorry for your loss. God promises that we will see our loved ones alive again. Acts 24:15: “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” May you find comfort and strength to cope with your grief.

Errol Stephenson says
For over 40 years you become apart of my family, another brother, and we did share and enjoy the things that brothers indulge in, I hate to know that you are no longer here with me, where we taunt each other about politics and our favorite politicians and sports personalities, to I miss you is more than words can say.RIEP..
Esther foreshaw says
Rest in perfect peace my cousin. I love you so so much. YOU MEANT ALOT TO ME
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😪😪😪. You took care of me n my daughter whenever we needed your help. You were there for me when my mom was sick. You went to her home n then call me n tell me what’s going on wth her when she tried to hide her sickness. When I came to Brooklyn you comfort me n assure me I will be okay even tho my mom is gone. We were just talking last month n you planned to come to Jamaica again. Sigh. I always look forward to you coming to Jamaica. Rip to a great one
