In loving memory of Ian, we have made a donation to the Royal Flying Doctor Service to help carry forward the work that meant so much to him. His unwavering commitment to improving healthcare for people across regional, rural and remote Queensland wasn’t just admirable, it changed lives and it will continue to do so for years to come. Ian’s leadership through the Rotary Club of Emerald and his passion for the RFDS Patient Transfer Facility, created a legacy of care, dignity and community strength. He poured his heart into ensuring people in the bush had the support they deserved and that dedication will never be forgotten. It feels deeply meaningful to honour him by supporting a project he believed in so fiercely. May this gift help continue the compassion, the drive, and the community spirit that defined Ian’s life and the remarkable impact he made across the region.
