Tragic Events Hit Locals Hard 

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of 3 young men from our area.
“On Wednesday, 28th January 2026, our dear Tyler tragically lost his life in a workplace accident after falling from a roof. He was just 34 years old. In a single moment, a young family’s world was shattered.

Tyler leaves behind his devoted wife, Kiara (32), and their two beautiful little boys, Harvey (4) and Cohen (3). Harvey and Cohen have lost the most loving, caring, hands-on daddy who was the centre of their world. Kiara has lost her soulmate, the absolute love of her life and partner in every sense.

In an extraordinary final act of generosity, Tyler was a registered organ donor. Through this selfless gift, his major organs have gone on to save or significantly improve the lives of six recipients, including two children. In the midst of unimaginable grief, Tyler’s legacy now lives on through the lives he has helped save”.

Then only 3 days later. As reported by NSW Police – two young men, 28, were found deceased on Saturday 31st January at their home in Harrisons Lane, Glenorie.

Locals quickly set up a GoFundMe page with the following extract: “Deeply cherished by all who know her, this devoted mother is a tireless worker and a quiet cornerstone of our community. Always showing up for others with strength, kindness and humility, her presence has touched countless lives, and the loss she is now enduring is unfathomable.

The pain she and her family are now carrying is impossible to put into words. No parent should ever have to farewell their child, and now being faced with laying her two sons to rest is a burden no family should have to carry alone”.
