By Belize Live News Staff: Belize City is mourning the loss of a cherished figure at the municipal airport: Tacin Heredia, a well-known taxi driver whose friendly smile and kind heart left a lasting impression on countless travelers and staff.
Originally from San Pedro Town, Tacin became a familiar and comforting presence for those arriving and departing from the municipal airstrip. Known for his calm demeanor and genuine warmth, he served his community with quiet pride and unwavering dedication.
Tacin was also the brother of former Minister of Tourism and Belize Rural South Area Representative, Manuel Heredia. While his connection to public service was known, it was his humble service on the ground — helping passengers, sharing stories, and offering a reliable ride — that made him truly unforgettable.
His passing marks the end of an era for many who frequented the airport and came to know him simply as “Tacin.” The airport won’t feel the same without him.
May he rest in peace, and may his memory continue to bring smiles to those who knew him.
