Gregory Ulric Lammy

It is with heavy hearts that, we announce the passing of Gregory Ulric “Jimmy” Lammy (Young Brath), who departed this life on May 13, 2025, at the age of 59.

On July 6, 1965 Gregory entered this world in Bawden St. Andrew, Barbados. From the beginning, he was a great blessing to his family. Especially to his paternal grandparents, Carlye and Myrtle Brathwaith, they saw the sun rise and set on him.  As the first grandson, Gregory was well-loved, and cherished. Even after moving to the United States as a young boy, he spent each summer with them in Barbados.

From these early years, Gregory would become a child of two worlds and a master of them both.  Sliding from one culture to the next effortlessly. Through his time at school, Gregory won many awards ranging from citizenship to academic achievement and soccer. Finally, graduating from Manchester High School.  After high school, Gregory would go on to enlist in the U.S. Army. There he would serve six years before being honorably discharged.

Gregory would often feel the pull of his native land, the siren song of the island of his birth.  But eventually, he settled in Connecticut. There he transitioned into a successful career in the insurance industry with SunLife, where he was admired for his professionalism, character, and easy-going charm.

During his life, Greg was, a loyal son.  Often, helping his mother with household projects. There was nothing he couldn’t fix. This came from his great love of engineering.  Greg was a loving brother. He was always there for his siblings, with help, advice, or just a listening ear. He never judged. Greg was, also a devoted father to his daughter Chamyra, who he loved so much. Greg was  also a  great friend, neighbor, and relation, whose impact will not be forgotten. Greg was a man of quiet wisdom and deep interests. He had a great love for technology, military history, and especially fishing — a pastime that brought him peace and joy.

Gregory is survived by his mother, Marjorie Ruth Douglas; his stepfather, Alvin Bruce Douglas; and his beloved daughter, Chamyra Rolyce Washington. He also leaves behind many siblings, including Lisa Douglas, Alvin Douglas II and his fiance Heather Hilliman, and Peter Frances of New Jersey. Also left to mourn is his partner Suzette Bacchus.  He also leaves many nephews and nieces to grieve, among them are, Alvin Douglas III and Simone Douglas. Gregory was preceded in death by his father, Philmore Brathwaith, in 2020.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at All Faith Memorial Chapel, 90 John Fitch Blvd, South Windsor, CT 06074. Calling hours will begin at 11:00 AM, followed by the service at 12:00 PM.

Greg’s legacy lives on through his family, his friendships, and the memories of those who were blessed to know him.
