Please meet the beautiful Cranfield family ...

Mum Tess, Max now just turned 13, Indy 10 and Michael.

Sadly Tess and the children as well as Allanah and Holly, Michael's Step Daughters, tragically lost Michael on Sunday night to his long fight with depression.

This is an absolute tragedy, for anyone who knew him.

On the outside, to anyone he met, he was kind, fun, funny, caring, open- armed, warm, hilarious, cheeky, compassionate, lovely, clever ... He was also truly talented, big-hearted, loving and, a devoted Father.

On the inside, he battled.

For years.

As in many cases, part of what tipped Michael over the edge was financial stresses. Many of which he had not spoken about to anyone ... keeping them hidden and struggling to sort them out himself, carrying that burden alone.

We don't want Tess, Max and Indy, Allanah and Holly to face that same kind of pressure and stress while they grieve.

On top of that, the family have now lost Michael's income.

We are out to raise at least $50,000 as quickly as we can.

This will help cover funeral costs, the family's needs for the next 12 months and let them go through the grieving process with some peace.

Michael touched so many lives with his heart, his humour, his talent, his kindness, his laugh and his love and we hope to touch Tess and children's lives just as he did ours.

Please help us do that and make the next 12 months safe and secure for this beautiful family who are suffering the greatest of losses.

Given Michael was much more often behind a camera than in front, here are just a handful of photo's that capture the fun, the love, the heart of this man and this family.

Please support us in supporting this beautiful family through this incredibly difficult time. Thank you.
