Support for the Cherel Family in a time of loss

In October this year the world lost a wonderful person, Luke Cherel.

Our deepest sympathy goes to his family and all who knew and loved him.

Please know this page has been created with the knowledge and consent from family members.

Luke was a man who always cared and showed respect for himself, his family and friends. He was always there when anyone needed someone to listen, his quiet nature and kind smile would reassure everyone that everything will be ok.

He was an amazing father and partner and loved his children dearly.

He loved his work and took pride in being a ranger, caring for his country, listening and learning from elders and sharing what he knew with others. Representing his ranger group at a number of important events, he always did his best.

He loved his home, land and the stories that were told from our elders, he had patience, and was very skilful.

All who knew him knew he was great at football but an even better father to his children. He loved and lived for his children, partner, family and close friends.

He respected and showed kindness to all.

This go fund me page is to create some financial support for his partner, children and the family who are currently saying goodbye to this beautiful young man, and only a few months after holding another final farewell to this young man's cousin brother.

Please know all donations count and any little bit will assist this family in a time of great need. Please share and show your kindness.

Any money raised will be put towards one of the following:

• Supporting all costs associated with holding his service

• Financial support for his children and partner

Thank you for reading.
