The media landscape in Dominica is a small space where practitioners are more than just familiar names and faces. We are a close-knit group. Elias Orville Dupuis was one of us.
We were fortunate to have in our space an extraordinary individual whose impact left an indelible mark on those who consumed his content, his colleagues and community at large. He was a visionary, a mentor, and a friend to all of us who had the privilege of working with him.
Elias embodied the spirit of creativity and innovation; tirelessly pushing the boundaries of what was possible in his field. As a content creator, digital transformation strategist, photographer, and entrepreneur, he approached every endeavor with passion and dedication. His commitment to progressive thought and action was evident in every project he undertook, leaving behind a legacy of excellence that will inspire many and endure for generations to come.
Throughout his career, Elias was a steadfast advocate for the power of communication. Whether through his work at 365MP, the company he co-founded with friends, or in his roles at Digicel, the Electoral Office, and Invest Dominica Authority, he consistently sought to share information, spark dialogue, and foster understanding. His innate ability to connect with others, coupled with his unwavering commitment to integrity and excellence, made him a trusted advisor and mentor to countless individuals.
Beyond his professional achievements, Elias will be remembered for the warmth, kindness, and generosity he extended to all who crossed his path. He was not only a recognised presence in the media community but also a beloved husband, father, and friend. His bright smile, engaging personality and enthusiasm for life and life’s special moments will be remembered by all who knew him.
As we mourn the loss of Elias Orville Dupuis, the Dominica Media and Communications Association (DMCA) pays tribute to his ‘awesome’ life and legacy. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, son, family, friends, and colleagues. May his memory serve as a source of inspiration and comfort to all who were touched by his extraordinary spirit. Though he may be gone, his influence will continue to resonate, guiding us toward a future filled with compassion, creativity, and connection. Rest in peace, our friend, our brother in media.
