For the love of Orlando

It is with deep sorrow that the family and close friends of Orlando Handley wish to share with community, close and far, his sudden death on Wednesday 25 October 2023.

The shock and grief of Orlando’s passing is profound, and devastating for his parents, Mandy and Neil, and friends and community as a whole. Orlando was a sensitive, creative and quirky soul, loved by all. On the cusp of his eighteenth birthday, he leaves behind the legacy of his loving and vulnerable presence, and his extensive collection of original music compositions to inspire and remember him by. A ceremony to honour his life will be held at Ewingsdale Hall on 11 November (time to be advised).

The family is facing funeral and bureaucratic expenses that are beyond their means and they respectfully request support to assist them through this most difficult transition. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your care.

Please feel free to share this request.
