Ian Wells

Hi, My name is Brian. I am the President of the Red Knights Firefighters Motorcycle Club Chapter 19 Latrobe Valley. The Chapter recently lost Ian in a tragic vehicle accident. Ian was a real gentleman who supported The Chapter in its role of supporting and giving back to the Community. We lost one of its staunchest and most passionate supporters.

Ian Wells, whilst riding with fellow Red Knights 19 Australia members on the Tyers/Walhalla Road, was involved in a road crash and did not survive.

This incident is all the more distressing as many of us, who were present at Ian and Kathleen’s wedding on the previous weekend, will know of the special love they shared.

We are going to miss the eagerness and commitment that Ian showed towards supporting the Gippsland Motorcyclist Toy Run and his willingness to participate in the build-up period before the event, his support spanned many years.

Whenever we needed to assemble a group of riders to show appreciation towards a business making a donation, the Red Knights were always there, and Ian was always part of the group. Just having him present on those occasions giving us encouragement and support meant a lot and inspired us to keep on going.

The Chapter, in supporting Kat, his wife and in conjunction with the family are needing to raise sufficient funds to be able to lay her husband, father, our brother and mate to rest, and support the family through this devastating time.
