Personal message

Graeme Stretton tragically left his wife Taryn, and 2 beautiful daughters Riley Paige (2yrs) and Ella Grace (6months) behind due to a sudden tragic accident on 30 December 2023. The family is devastated and in shock - stuck with the image of the tragic scene in their memory, a huge hole in their hearts and left with the ultimate question: Why Him?

Graeme was a true legend to all those who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was the most caring husband, present and loving father to his girls, a son his parents and sister were incredibly proud of. Graeme went to the ends of the earth for anyone in need, whether it was through a smile, a hug, words of encouragement and upliftment, guidance, lending a helping hand, financial assistance, sharing his knowledge to help others succeed, listening, and so much more.

Unfortunately wrapping up an estate of a lost loved one takes months. Graeme was the breadwinner of the family. His wife and girls are feeling the financial impact while trying to mourn their loss. The family are in need of some necessities while waiting for the estate to be wrapped up in the hopes that this will help them.

Funds raised will be used towards play therapy for Riley as she was witness to the accident, and daddy was her absolute best buddy in the whole world; counseling for Taryn to heal and come to terms with losing her soul mate so suddenly and tragically; running the household and affording the monthly expenses until the estate has been finalized.

Any and all contributions would be greatly appreciated by the family.

Thank you to all those who have been there for Taryn and the girls during this difficult time. Taryn and the family send condolences to all Graeme's friends, work colleagues and anyone who knew him.

May his legacy live on forever.

RIP Graeme
