Gaius Bethel, Son of former MP Philip Bethel, Dies.

(Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera) - The Eleutheran has learnt of the sad passing of Mr. Gaius Cornelius Bethel (45; name spelling corrected from Guius) of Palmetto Point/Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera on Monday, June 22.
Guius, well known on the island for his passion in fashion design, brought world class quality fashion design shows and beauty/talent contests to Eleuthera some years ago, drawing crowds of several hundred attendees on many occasions. Persons from all over the island of Eleuthera including Spanish Wells and Harbour Island attended these well presented shows.
He was the son of Reverend and Mrs. Philip Bethel. Rev. Bethel who is the Senior pastor of People's Restoration Baptist Church of Palmetto Point was the long serving member of parliament for Central Eleuthera.
Gaius was the organiser behind the previous Miss Eleuthera Teen competitions last held in 2006, and also took teams to other islands in the Bahamas displaying many of his creations. In 2008, Gaius co-sponsored Ms. Paris Knowles of Harbour Island in the Ms. Bahamas World competition, at that time expressing delight in the opportunity to contribute, by assisting the young Eleutheran in her endeavours. In 2003, he managed Nadia V. Johnson to her successful acquistion of the Miss Bahamas Universe title.
In November of 2008, we encountered the enthusiastic Gaius as a key organiser behind the scenes of the wonderful Installation and Ordination Service for his father Reverend Philip Bethel, Minister Charlotte Davis and Reverend LeeCarl Sands.
He has also previously held the positions of Chief Councilor of the Central Eleuthera District Council and the Chairman of the Governor's Harbour Council.
Additionally, Guius operated an off-shoot service of the family business, Eleuthera Supply, delivering snacks and meats across Eleuthera.

People lets keep the Bethel's family in our prayer and instead of talking lets pray... Today it's them but tomorrow it could be us..
Mr Bethel you are a fashion legend,no one could ever compare to your style,You taught me lots of things during the years of knowing each other,I always tagged along for fashion shows,pageants in Nassau or whenever called upon. I'm gonna miss you dearly but I know you're looking down on us who are in sorrow and pain over your death and I know that you would not want us to feel down and out because you are gone because now you are in a better place,where there's no suffering nor pains. I love you ssooo much,not because you are dead but because of the type relationship we had..memories will truly last forever!I will sure miss you Guius Bethel!!!

All but Death, can be Adjusted
Dynasties repaired
Systems-settled in their sockets
Citadels-dissolved
Wastes of Lives-reason with Colors
By Succeeding Springs-
Death-unto itself-Exceptions-
is exempt from Change-
Poem By Emily Dickinson
Weeping may endure for an night but joy cometh in the early morning light. RIP Guius, We love you but Jesus loves you best.
