Hi, my name is Jayde, and I was a close friend of Rob. We went through Sydney Trains driver training together, worked side by side, and shared countless adventures — from camping trips to chasing waterfalls and hunting down the best tasty bites.

We are deeply saddened by the sudden and unexpected loss of our friend and colleague, Rob — a quiet, caring soul who touched many with his kindness , he had a love and passion for animals, photography and trains.

Rob leaves behind his beloved wife and their newborn son. I have set up this fundraiser to help support them through this unimaginable time.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference and show our love and support for Rob’s family.

Rest in peace, Rob — you’ll always be remembered.
