Rest in Peace Arthur, you suffered great pain and much discomfort but, through it all, you bravely maintained your wonderful sense of humour – you will be sadly missed by so many – God Bless my friend.
Col Young’s wife has asked this message to be past on….
In lieu of flowers leading up to Col’s funeral on Friday, the family have asked that donations be sent to Police Legacy in Colin’s name as they are providing support to Colin’s young daughters who are now left fatherless. Thanks.

Colin YOUNG
Aged 47 years, of Merimbula,
passed away at Greigs Flat on 12 May 2016,
Beloved husband of Kellie, dearly loved father of Reese, Evelyn, and Skyla.
Cherished son of Alan and Marlene, loving brother of Andrew.
Caring uncle, nephew, cousin, son-in-law, brother-in-law, friend to many and loud singer during happy birthday and hymns.
A professional leaf vacuum driver, carpenter, police office, tactical operator, special forces reservist, cycling shop manager, real estate agent, hardware store expert, lawn mower, handyman, aircraft baggage handler, bartender, landscape gardener, security guard, cleaner, teachers aide, aged care worker and gold fossicker.
May he rest in peace.
Left before his shout again.
* * * * * *
Relatives and friends are invited to attend Colin’s Funeral Service, which will be held on Friday 27 May 2016, commencing at 11.00AM, at St Joseph’s Catholic Church, Merimbula.
This will be followed by a Private Cremation.
In lieu of Flowers, please consider a donation to the NSW Police Legacy
Details will be available at the service.
There might be some confusion about his AGE. The Dept has stated 38 at the time of death. He has been out of ‘the job’ for 5 years – makes him 33 when he left. He apparently did 15 years in ‘the job’. That would have made him 18 when he join ‘the job’. Somehow I don’t think his age is correct OR his years of service are wrong, unless he joined on his 19th birthday or very close to it. Age has been confirmed, by friends, as 47.

Stephen Budgen: FB 13 May 2016
CJ Young was a friend whom I admire for so many reasons. I joined the NSW Police with Col in 1992 and later worked alongside Col in the Tactical operations Unit. Col was someone with incredible patience and compassion, the guy that was always there to lend a hand, the guy who was unflappable under pressure, The guy you were relieved to see covering your 6 on the big jobs, he was the guy with exceptional ability but with greatest humility. He was of course more to so many more….he was a son, a brother, a father, a husband.
A kind, gentle compassionate person but equally one of the toughest men you will come across -taken too soon.
Rest in Peace Mate.

NEVILLE Michael Allan “Mick” of Toowoomba. Passed away on 24 April 2016. Aged 46 years. Forever loved Dad of Daniel and Gracie. Loving Son of Lyn Zirbel and Bill Neville (dec). Loved Brother of Peter, David and Barry, and Loved Stepbrother, Brother-in-law, Uncle and Friend. The Funeral is planned for Friday and full funeral details will appear in Thursday’s Chronicle.
David NevilleTo my beloved twin brother, whose first post was Mt Isa, from where he spent extended times at Doomagee, an Aboriginal mission which is the toughest beat in Qld. As a trainee constable he had to deal with high threat situations with little backup on a daily basis which is something the most experienced veterans would struggle with. He paid a significant emotional toll. Throughout his near 20 years of service, like all police he dealt with traumatic and dangerous situations. Unfortunately the dark forces of PTSD had a debilitating impact on him and he was medically retired. He gave the best years of his life to the QPS and the community of Queensland.
I loved you with all my heart and I am proud to have served with you.
David Neville, Inspector, QPS.
BLUE HOPEDavid, a confronting, poignant and heart felt post mate… much respect to you. Again, our deepest condolences to you and your family during this very difficult time… We can’t begin to imagine your pain but know that you and Michael are in our thoughts and prayers… The Blue HOPE team.

Wayne NoffkeI worked with Mick for a number of years in Toowoomba.

He was a good man & will be missed.
