Belated Tribute: Remembering Rodney Moncur, passed at the ripe age of 68, three score and 10
“The Leader of the Women dem, and the Nation”
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and supporters of the late Rodney Moncur, a bold and unforgettable figure in Bahamian public life. We also sincerely apologize for the delay in sharing this message.
Rodney Moncur passed away at the age of 68 following a brief illness. Known across the country as a fierce radio personality, former Senator, community advocate, and social media firebrand, Moncur stood apart. Whether you loved him or clashed with him, you never forgot him. His voice carried weight, unapologetic, unfiltered, and rooted in deep conviction.
He was especially known for his deep connection with Bahamian women, whom he often called “his women dem.” His loyalty to the grassroots was unmatched, and his ability to stir national conversation made him a cornerstone of political and social discourse in The Bahamas.
Truth be told, here at Bahama Drama, Rodney was not always easy to deal with. He could be fiery, unpredictable, and confrontational. But one thing was certain, Rodney Moncur was real. The kind of real you don’t see anymore. He was a man who would give his last dollar to someone in need, even if that person was his enemy. That was just who he was, old school, hardwired to help, and sharp as ever in mind and wit.
I still remember those heated debates at McDonald’s on Oakes Field, sitting across from him and a few of the other fellas. He’d call me “ an American” just because of how I spoke English which drove me mad lol….
I hated him for that shit lmao!
No matter how much sense I was making, those old heads would laugh and shut it down. Looking back now, I can’t help but smile. That was Rodney never backing down, always keeping things lively.
Rodney didn’t perform for the cameras. What you heard on the radio, you got in real life. He didn’t wear a mask for anyone. And that’s rare in this world today, where most people are too busy trying to fit in to stand out.
Truthfully, I wasn’t a follower of Rodney Moncur. I didn’t always agree with him. But I respected him the same way I respected my own father, even if we didn’t always see eye to eye. That generation? They were cut from iron. They didn’t sugarcoat anything. They spoke from the gut, consequences be damned. And whether we agreed or not, they raised a generation of men and women who knew who they were.
Rodney Moncur was a relic of that real era and as we look around today, it’s clear how much we’ve lost.
We honor his legacy today with the respect he earned. May his soul find rest, and may his voice echo in the conversations that shape our nation long after he’s gone.
Rest in peace, brother Rodney Moncur.
