Michael Russell passed away unexpectedly today at Burwood Beach, Merewether. He was a 25 year old proud Aboriginal Man and his mother, two brothers, family and friends are left now in immense grief and shock. Michael was a full of life and caring friend to all, a brother, a son and an uncle. We all will miss his presence in our community and within our lives. We ask that anyone who can lend a hand of support in this time of need to donate towards this gofundme for the costs of a funeral for him. His family and friends would all love to give him the send off he deserves and any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
