In Loving Memory of Oliver (Olly) Gorzkowski

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of Oliver (Olly) Gorzkowski on Sunday June 1st, 2025. Olly was a beloved father, brother, son and friend.

Olly leaves behind his little boy, Leo — the light of his life — and his sister Olivia (Trevor), who now faces the unimaginable without her big brother. This tragedy comes just three years after Olivia and Olly lost their mother, Iwona, to cancer.

We are raising funds to help ease the weight of what comes next:

• To give Olly the farewell he deserves

• To allow his family time to grieve without the pressure of work

• And most of all, to build something lasting for Leo — so he grows up knowing how loved his dad was, and the impact he had on many of our lives

If you knew Olly, you know his love for a good joke, his infectious laugh and natural charm. Despite his internal struggles, he would never pass up an opportunity to make someone else smile.

Helping his family is one way to make sure that his story continues — not in loss, but in love.

Thank you for holding space with us — for Leo, for Olivia and Trevor, and for Olly.

To honour Olly's journey and help others who may be struggling, part of the funds raised will be donated to organizations focused on men’s mental health.

Every donation helps. Every share helps. Every act of care brings light into this dark time.

If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this post helps more than you know. Every share brings awareness to the quiet weight so many men carry, the urgency of mental health support, and the importance of checking in on those closest to you. Oliver mattered. Others do too.
