Percival Nathaniel Thorne passed away on September 5, 2026, at HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital at the age of 87. Born in Den Amstel, Guyana, he was known for his gentle spirit, kind heart, and peaceful nature. He found joy in gardening, traveling, cooking, drawing, watching movies, and spending time with his family.

Born on December 11, 1938, to Nathaniel and Maud Thorne, Percival was the eldest of six siblings: Joseph Thorne, Mayfield Thorne, Patricia Thorne, Thelma Thorne, and Waveney. He spent his early years in Den Amstel in the villages of Fellowship and Hague, before moving to Georgetown. He later married his beloved late wife, Mary Claudette Thorne, and together they had two children, Roderick Thorne and Allison Thorne.

Percival served honorably for several years in the Guyana Police Force at Brickdam Police Station in Georgetown before migrating to the United States with his family. He later worked as Surveillance/Patrol Officer at Brookdale Hospital, where he retired after many years of dedicated service.

In later years, Percival married Monica Best Thorne and moved to Kissimmee, Florida, where he spent the final chapter of his life.
