Gavan. Loyal friend. Master Stonemason
We’ve had fabulous projects and a lot of fun. Gavan’s superb work is with us everywhere we go on our farm and will be remembered always. Gavans work can be seen on farms and in public places throughout the Western District that he loved. His artistic and creative ability is renowned.

To Martin,Rodney Gavs girls,grandchildren and family my sincere condolences. Brams was the most talented self taught tradesman. His ability to look, learn and convert his thoughts into techniques that produced amazing works of art was astounding. He did not have a teacher or mentor or any formal training in his trade.
Brams, you were a truly unique individual with immense talent and patience. I’m forever grateful for your patience and teaching of my trade all those years ago.
RIP BRAMS

Hi all would just like to send my Condolences to my best mate Bryan and his whole family at these difficult time and hard circumstances currently.
Bramley was definitely an awesome top bloke I had only ever met the man a few time’s here and there but he was always such a lovely kind hearted man with a heart of gold.
He always had such a great bubbly personality and he loved to crack funny jokes and have a good laugh with me and Bryan when we use to talk every now and then.
It is with great sadness to hear of your passing Bramley and you will be forever missed dearly by your family and all that knew you personally and by the people who sadly never ever got the chances to meet you as of yet.
You definitely did put up a great fight mate and you will always be remembered for the funny and great man that you were and always are with an awesome and bubbly personality.
Fly high mate and it was an absolute pleasure and honour of getting to know you in the short time that I did and I am absolutely forever greatful that I got to meet you before you sadly passed and left this world.
We will all definitely be having a Beer for ya mate take care and rest easy mate.
Cheers and kind regards mate.

Gav, you were a very important person in the lives of so many, and I always enjoyed our yarns.
Your charm and quick wit matched only by Michael and Bryan, and in Bryan I see the very best of both you and Michael.
I’ll never forget the afternoon out at the Birre pub after my return from Queensland, and upon laying eyes on me the first time in almost 5 years, without any hesitation you blurt out “you’ve been in a good paddock!” – possibly one of my favourite stories too tell people.
You’re a true legend who will be sorely missed by the many whose lives you positively impacted, and all my love goes to your family.

Brams, thanks for your friendship over the years. Will miss having a beer & a yarn mate. Rest in peace.
Jono, Kristy & Kids xx
