The funeral service for Chris Gayle’s mother, Hazel, was held on Sunday, December 16.

Hazel, who was the matriarch of the Gayle family, is survived by her husband Dudley, and seven children – Vanclive, Lyndon, Michelle, Michael, Andrew, Christopher, and Wayne.

She passed away early last month from a suspected heart attack.

“We laid our Mom to rest today…Gone but not forgotten ??? ❤️ #Family #WeStillStayStrong#ImAllAboutLoveAndLoveAlone#PositiveVibes,” Chris Gayle captioned a photo uploaded to his Instagram account.

Shortly after the news broke in November, an official statement was made by the West Indies Cricket Board as CWI President Dave Cameron offered a message of sympathy towards the iconic batsman.
