Kasmus “Shaq” Patrick, a 2nd Lieutenant in the Virgin Islands US ARMY National Guard, a nurse, a truck driver, an overall breathtaking individual it is with deject that we announce has died unexpectedly on Dec. 14, 2024 at the Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale Florida at the very young age of 31.
Kasmus was born in the alluring USVI on the island of St. Croix. A purposeful individual, very ambitious, goal oriented, family oriented, just full of life, had so much more to give and do but when they say “expect the unexpected” it’s exactly that.
