What a great inspirational leader and family, my deepest condolences to the whole of the family, but can't believe this genius blessed man would take his life! May he rise in glory, and sleep on in peace. 🙏
Rest In Peace, Lowell Hawthorne We would like to extend our sincerest and heartfelt condolences at the loss and tragic passing of the founder of the founder of Golden Krust, Lowell Hawthorn. We are so very shocked to hear of this terrible news as we are regular customers at Golden Krust in Georgia and I know that for those who knew and were a part of his life, this is a tragedy on a massive level. Our heart goes out to his friends, colleagues and most especially his wife, children, grandchildren, family members and those that he touched and were influenced by his incredible talent, entrepreneurial spirit and success and the opportunities that he gave to his Jamaican brothers and sisters. Lowell was a man who possessed great intellect, integrity, generosity, honesty and love for his friends and community and I know that he will be so terribly missed, especially to the Jamaican community both here in the US and Worldwide.

sometimes we see the front not the underlining problem, i have seen bigger business go under, jc penny, k mart , hh. gregg the list goes on, yes people who cannot handle the down fall will and do end their lives, the milions sounds good rolling off tongues but the overhead cost can too leave one scratching their head at the end of the day, peace love and United harmony to the bereaved families,
Man... I know he was destroying his pockets by having a plant in the Bronx. Just imagine the property tax, power, and water... I work in manufacturing, and it's rare you put a plant in a city.
How come every time I go to Golden Krust I feel like I'm standing in a prison line being served? The servers be shaking that spoon TOO MUCH. Very stingy with the food. My condolences to the family. Now I sing: "Murderer!!! Blood upon your shoulder!! Kill I today; cannot kill I tomorrow!"
I don't know this guy in person,but I have been to some of stores to eat food sometimes.When I saw the news on the internet it was very shocking to learned of it, very sad to learned of his death. I have read all the comments, and some of them does not making any sense at all.It is really hard to understand what is going on,but as I know that New York City is one of the baddest place on Earth.My father been living in New since 1970,I have a few relatives living there also one of my sister living there.With the death of the owner of the Golden Crust Bakery, and restaurants why would he took his own life over some taxes like that according to the news .Even if he did owes the IRS back taxes he could make some arrangements with them to pay it up,I don't see why he should have killed himself like that.To me that was a very Stupid move, what I does know about some Jamaicans .They having too much prides, afraid to tell someone or talk with some one about their problem, because some of us afraid that the person or persons you shared.Such a information with will tell other people, and your name will be all over the place.One must realized that in life there is rise, and fall in anything you do.Looked at Kmart at one time they were the world largest Chains of stores,now it's Walmart and they are closing down 45 of their stores according to the news from in the month of December to 2018, because some of the stores is not profitable.So they are trimming some of their stores, they are the largest Chains of stores in the world,so Golden Crust Bakery owner should try to learned from those super Giants in business.People must do understand that once a subject is out in the public, you cannot stop people from making their comments whether you like it or not.It is norms so the family have to just ride it out with their lost of one of their family member, and keep the business going.Because it done happened already, and it does not matter what anybody say or do,it cannot changed the out come of the tragedy.Let his soul Rest in Peace, and his family members be strong in this painful times.Amen.
You people clearly do not realize how powerful the IRS is. I dare you to not pay taxes for a year. Watch and see what happens. He was stressed and they were coming for him and his business. He committed suicide. I am so sorry to hear about it. Smh.
And when they come 4 you as you put it . Then what ??? What will happen??? Jail, murder to a person and they family and friends??? What exactly. If it's not murder. Stop sounding like a frightened like bitch
If you believe this story , then you will fall for every lie that has ever been told. This was a very strong God fearing Jamaican brother . As the bible said ...leave all vengeance to God.
that is so sad if they saw him kill himself that is said at a time like this when his business is climbing you find Anise product in Chinese store and Dollar Store Dollar Tree well his legacy passed on to his kids but it's a sad thing for him as a man of God to commit suicide I still don't believe he killed himself
Rest in peace Mr. Hawthorne, Ja Bless 🇯🇲

Watching undercover boss in 2019 and realized this was the same person. His death seemed suspicious to me.
Why is it suspicious?
Read his book 3 years ago and immediately fell in love with his drive, ambition, and overall personality. This is a tremendous loss!!
Rip, you did alot for Jamaicans and other Caribbean people.
My deepest condolences to his family. May he RIP!
