Find My Past only has information on his death - 26th April 1942, Public Hospital Kingston. Cause of death was Pyouephrosis. Death wasn't registered until May 11th. He is, however, listed in a number of other trees. Contacting the owners may give you more information.

Some possible sources of help:
FamilySearch Wiki, Jamaica: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Jamaica_Online_Genealogy_Records (it doesn't look like any burial records from 1942 are available online.)
Jamaica cemeteries: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Jamaica_Cemeteries
Probably your best bet, the Caribbean Family History Group:  https://caribbeanfamilyhistorygroup.org/
