We are raising funds on behalf of Jess and the family to help ease their minds during this very difficult time.

Ash a very experienced game fisher went out on Thursday to enjoy a day on the water, with all intentions of joining his family for dinner that night. Unfortunately he has not come home and has not been able to be located after an exhausting search.

Ash was a pillar in his fishing club, he was an incredible dad, a loving partner and just an all round top bloke. We know that everyone who has ever come in contact with him will remember his infectious laugh, great sense of humour and have so many good times to share.

Losing Ash suddenly is unfathomable and we want Jess and the kids to not have the extra stress that comes with losing the main financial provider while they navigate this time.
