Trinidad and Tobago mourns veteran journalist Sterling Henderson

The media fraternity in Trinidad and Tobago is mourning the sudden passing of veteran journalist and presenter Sterling Henderson, who worked at I95.5FM for over two decades.

The news of Henderson’s death was shared on Saturday by Dale Enoch, interim president of the Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago (MATT) and head of news at I95.5FM. Henderson was scheduled to work the early morning shift but did not report to work. Later, his brother informed the station that Henderson had been found unresponsive at his home.

“We have lost another gem of the profession, our deputy head of news at i.95.5/OCM (One Caribbean Media), Sterling Henderson,” Enoch said. “We have no idea what would have caused the death or the circumstances surrounding it.”

Henderson had been with I95.5FM since 2002, remaining a constant presence through the station’s various frequency changes. Enoch paid tribute to his professionalism, his rich vocal tone, mastery of the English language, and his unique sense of humor.

“So we are going to miss him desperately. These are the things we are going to miss about Sterling,” Enoch said, reflecting the deep loss felt across Trinidad and Tobago’s media community.

Henderson’s colleagues and listeners alike remember him as a dedicated journalist whose voice and presence left a lasting impact on the country’s broadcasting landscape.
