The Canadian and Jamaican arts communities are mourning the loss of Jade Faith Douglas, affectionately known as Jade Faith, who passed away on September 27, 2025. A singer, actress, and vibrant force in the creative world, she leaves behind not only a body of work spanning more than two decades but also a legacy of encouragement, compassion, and belief in others’ dreams.
Born and raised in Thompson Town, Clarendon, Jamaica, Jade Faith began her artistic journey in modeling and acting schools before expanding into film, television, and music. Her versatility became her trademark. She refused to be confined to any single genre or discipline, embracing reggae, dancehall, gospel, R&B, and more with equal passion.
Her daughter remembers her as more than just a performer:
“Mom had a vibrant, artistic soul. She was a beautiful singer, but her real gift was believing in everyone else’s dreams. She created a wonderful space for artists in the GTA to showcase their talents, pouring her energy into cheering on their passions.”
Her voice—in both song and spirit—was a source of encouragement to countless artists across the Greater Toronto Area, where she became a cornerstone of artistic gatherings and showcases. She poured into others with fierce compassion, selfless service, and unconditional love.
Jade Faith is survived by her husband, her four children, and an extended network of family, friends, and fellow artists whose lives she touched.
A Gathering of Remembrance for Jade Faith will be held on Friday, October 3, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Gilbert MacIntyre and Son Funeral Home, 1099 Gordon Street, Guelph, Ontario. Friends and family are invited to share condolences and celebrate her remarkable life. As per her wishes, a private family service and interment will follow.
Though her passing leaves a void, her impact endures—in every song, every role, and every artist she inspired to chase their dreams.
