Moose,

I cannot believe that you're gone mate! I still remember the first time I met you; you were conducting our rowing conditioning land session early in the morning at the MHS gym. Your engine was unreal, nobody could keep up with your running, push ups/sit ups/squat jumps/any exercise you could name. Your physical fitness was incredible, but your smile and enthusiasm were even more powerful! We made some memories that I'll really cherish; such running around the Tan, or early morning burpees on the wet grass of Como Park, or riding a longboard down the hills next to Melbourne High. You were always such a positive person, and I still remember the heartfelt goodbye you said to me when I left MHS. My condolences to your family and friends, and I hope you look down on us fondly with your perpetual smile!

Moose, I remember in 2009, we had the MHS 1000 Steps Challenge for rowing in the Dandenongs. The 1000 Steps is hard, but you just kept on going and going and going. Someone stopped you after 13 laps because it was time to go home. I'm sure you would have kept going. It turned out that your 13 laps was 39km, almost a marathon. Your fitness and determination was incredible. You had the biggest heart and smile. Rest in peace.

Thanks for the wonderful memories brother. I’m glad I got to share some of my best teenage years with you. I remember riding our bikes around the suburbs, doing pull-ups anywhere we could hang, eating stupid amounts of bananas in one sitting, playing darts with push-up penalties and eating a parma in your back-yard. You’d attempt all kinds of crazy random feats and did things others wouldn’t. You were all in with everything - your focus was like a laser. You lit up everyone’s face and radiated kindness, always thinking of the ones you loved before yourself. This is what I will always remember when I think of you. Rest In Peace, my friend.

Moose, I still remembering so vividly seeing you practice backflips on the MHS footy field. That memory brought a smile to my face. Wish we could train together as soulpower one more time.
