  7. It is with great shock and sadness to hear of Ian’s passing.
    Such a great friend and lovely fella.

    You were so supportive of the Ian Parker Bipolar Research Fund of which I had founded (as a tribute to the loss of my beautiful brother in 2005) , and for this, I will be ever grateful for your kindness and compassion extended towards myself and parents.

    You courageously and confidentially shared your MH challenges with me with such gentleness and humility, and for this I thank you for your continued trust in me.

    A beautiful soul taken far too soon. May you find the peace you have been so long searching for dear Ian.

    My deepest and most sincerest condolences are extended to your beautiful Mum Dawn and long time friend of me parents Charles and Ivy (now both dec’d) , your two boys and extended family members.

    RIP my dear beautiful friend whom will be so missed by all whom had the honour and privilege of knowing you, such a great and unique soul.

  10. Declan and Fraser, I am so deeply sorry to hear the news of your dads passing. He was a great man, a funny man and so absolutely loving to everyone he met. He was so greatly proud of both of you in the times I had knowing him. The pain is raw right now but in time you will remember only the good times and the love he had for you both. Thinking of you all. And I will be watching from WA with all my heart.
