It was obvious yesterday that Denzil David Liverpool was not the run-of-the-mill basketball player and customs officer, who was just haplessly aggressive. It was clear that Liverpool had touched many lives during his 34 years on earth.
Hundreds thronged the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall yesterday to bid farewell to the Ravens Basketball Club and former national forward, Liverpool, who was involved in a motorcycle accident last Friday while on his way to Suriname.
Denzil, also known as Damian, crashed into a tractor and was part of a group of bikers on the annual tour. Yesterday, hundreds from the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), local basketball fraternity, biker community and family and friends bid him farewell.
Liverpool was born on June 29, 1978 and attended St. Roses Secondary and Queens College. At the time of his death he was an Enforcement Officer at the Guyana Revenue Authority. He spent most of his senior basketball career at the Ravens Basketball Club.
