The proceedings will commence with a candle light vigil from Mighty’s residence in Buckfield, Ocho Rios, St. Ann to the grounds of IRIE FM.

Musical tributes from IRIE FM presenters and performances from entertainers who were very close to Mighty Mike are some of the activities to mark the occasion.

Mighty Mike will be laid to rest on Friday, July 20 in Mandeville. The service is set for noon at the Ridgemount United Church followed by the interment at Melrose cemetery Williamsfield.

About IRIE FM

The station officially went on air on August 1, 1990. Reggae in the morning, Reggae in the evening, Reggae in the night was the cry. Critics said it was impossible to sustain a 24-hour Reggae music station. In fact, so strong was the impact, it proved that this format was something the Jamaican public yearned for. The 'little station that could' got all media houses in Jamaica to stand up and take note.
