FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
4 days ago – Family, friends and members of Nambour’s Anytime Fitness are still in shock after the untimely death of gym owner Darrin Voss. Former employee and friend …
Condolences to, wife, Tania, and young children Chloe, Zahra and Ashton.
We are deeply saddened by the recent loss of Darrin Voss who tragically lost his battle with cancer last week.
Many of you would know Darrin who was a very active member of our community but more importantly the gorgeous father of Chloe, Zahra and Ashton and husband to Tania.
Chloe Voss has umpired and played for Flinders and SCNA for many years. She has represented SCNA for the past four years at State Age and This year is our 15 Gold Captain.
It so difficult to find the right words but we hope Chloe and her family know that we are here for them in this difficult time.
This week in memory of Darrin we united across all clubs, at the courts, wearing his footy colours.
A memorial service will be held for Darrin at 10:00 this Thursday.
Due to COVID unfortunately numbers are reduced at the venue but for family and friends that would like to celebrate the memory of Darrin you can join via video.
It is with great sadness that today we mourn the loss of our friend and fellow clubman Darrin VOSS.
This morning he lost his battle with cancer and passed away peacefully at 2.30am.
He came from the CAMPSIE family of Cops which many of us came from.
He was a fighter with a giant heart, great Cop, footy player, friend and family man. He leaves behind a beautiful family and many friends.
He passed away from a rare form of liver cancer which sadly spread.
In this photo he is seen with good friend and clubman Nigel Webber.
We will always remember him and we will play with Vossy in our hearts.
On behalf of the Souths Players Association “R-Ageing Rabbits”, our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Darrin Voss who sadly passed away on Wednesday on the Sunshine Coast.
Darrin played lower grades with Rabbitohs from 1990-1993.
Darrin’s family will be holding a memorial service on the Sunshine Coast this Thursday at 10.00 am.
*For those based in Sydney, we will be streaming the service starting at 10.00 am from Souths Sydney Juniors at MAROUBRA followed by some light refreshments afterwards.
*We will need to advise the club on numbers so if you could please confirm attendance via email paul.israel@nam.com.au or text Brad on 0466 838 712.
Nambour parkrunners I have some sad news to share tonight.
Today our little community lost a rare treasure today.
Darrin Voss who many of you know through Anytime Fitness Nambour lost his short battle with illness and passed away this morning.
What many of you may not know is that without Darrin there would not be a Nambour parkrun.
Darrin had a vision to bring parkrun to Nambour as a healthy and fun way to connect the community.
He originally approached me in March 2015 and together we searched Nambour and surrounds for the perfect course. There was nothing that would really inspire people to come to Nambour to run 5km until 1 day driving back from checking a potential course at Bli Bli I looked up at the towers on Radar Hill Rd and said there is 1 more place I can show you but trust me, parkrun will never agree to letting us have a parkrun there because it’s 100% trails with hills, no toilets or water except in the creek.
I took him out to Parklands and around the Rocky Creek circuit and of course he was hooked. I said again there was no way this would be allowed but he was determined to ask the question.
The answer from parkrun was if you can raise the money Nambour can have a parkrun there.
Straight away Darrin kicked in a generous donation and organised another donation from another local business.
The Sunshine Coast Council contributed the balance and on 21 November 2015Nambour parkrun was launched.
Thank you Darrin for your vision, your hard work, your enthusiasm, your generosity and all you contributed to our community.
Nambour has lost a very special person today and our thoughts are with your wife Tania and beautiful family.
Sad news former renown player and all round great bloke.
To all of Darrin’s dear friends,
It’s with incredible sadness I need to let you know that tragically Darrin has lost his battle with cancer passing away early this morning.
Nothing in the world meant more to Darrin than his family and I know your thoughts and condolences are with Tania, Zahra, Chloe & Ashton as well as Rudi, Ruth & Meagan.
Darrin was loved by us all and has had a positive influence on everyone he ever met. We lost one of the good guys today, however we’re all blessed for having known him.
RIP mate.
Darrin, we all have you in our thoughts and our hearts.
Use all your great memories and connections with people to visualise your path forward.
I believe all the universal energy and positive thoughts from the enormous group of family, friends and people you have touched in your life can together be a great healing force that you can use to fight your way back to health.
I appreciate this will come as a complete shock to everyone but our dear friend Darrin Voss (Vossy) was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer in late May this year and has been in the fight of his life over the past 2 months trying to overcome this terrible condition.
The primary cancer formed in what is known as his billary tree and a secondary tumor has formed on his liver.
The cancer is extremely rare and very aggressive and Darren was immediately put onto a strong course of Chemotherapy.
The tumors have caused significant complications with his digestive system and about 3 weeks ago Darrin underwent major surgery to clear blockages in his bile duct and portal vein in his liver.
While the operation was successful, it put him back a few weeks with his chemo and unfortunately the tumors have continued to grow in this time and his health and strength have continued to deteriorate.
Everyone that knows Darrin will understand he is not one to ask for help, however this is a fight he just can’t handle alone.
Tania, Zahra, Chloe and Ashton have been so resilient, getting on with life best they can and dealing with the daily challenges but now they need our help.
Any donation big or small will help Darrin and Tania and their beautiful family during this difficult time. We all need to rally together and help this family in there moment of need.
Darrin is just an outstanding individual who has succeeded in every endeavor he has turned his hand to. Although he’s been involved in the fitness industry for the past 12 years he spend the 10 prior serving the community in the NSW Police Force both in general duties and later as a detective. Many people would know he’s an avid Souths fan but most wouldn’t know he played over 50 lower grade games with the Rabbitohs in the early 90’s – he just isn’t the type of person to brag about things like that.
Please share with as many of Darrin’s friends as you can reach out to, whether it be people he knew growing up and playing football, when he was in the police force or working in the gym we want to reach as many people as possible so feel free to use Facebook, private messages, messenger, WhatsApp messages or any other platform.
We also understand many of you will want to reach out to Tania and the family, but please for now just give them some space to work through this – please leave your well wishes and messages of support here and the family will make sure Darrin see them.
If you do want any further details please contact me at brad.hyem@yahoo.com.au or text me on 0466838712

We were delighted to present the inaugural Ross Lambert Perpetual award this year to Dominique Melbourn.
This award is presented for outstanding contribution in representing NCCSLSC as the best individual junior competitor at carnivals.
At State Championships 2020 Dom won gold for each of her individual water events of Swim, Iron, and Board, just managing to stay ahead of her team mate Olivia Clues.
Dom has consistently been at the pointy end in Surf Life Saving events. Gracious in defeat and magnanimous in success, Dom is polite and thoughtful to others. And when not in the water at carnivals, she is on the ropes supporting our beachies or cheering on her team mates, who altogether make an incredible team. Whilst this is presented to one individual it is equally a reflection of the exceptional peer, club, and coaching support at NCCSLSC.
.
This award is in honour of Ross Lambert, Nippers President in the 1987-88 season.
SYDNEY, Friday. — A teaching brother pleaded not guilty in Central Court today to a charge of hindering police who had arrested a drunken Aboriginal woman in Sydney on November 30 last year.
Before the court was Brother Thomas Charles Hammerton, 39, a De La Salle teaching brother attached to the St Vincent’s Presbytery, Redfern.
Sergeant Ross Lambert said that as the woman was being placed in the police van, Brother Thomas had tried to grab, her. He said that Brother Thomas had yelled,”Watch the racist police.
Watch. Watch”.
He told Brother Thomas to go away but he lunged again and tried to take hold of the woman.
Brother Thomas said he had told the police to treat the woman with dignity and respect.
He said the police pushed and shoved the woman like a “sack of potatoes”.
He said he had then said to them, “Hey, are you a racist or what?”
Mr Berman, SM, adjourned the hearing until March 16 and allowed Brother Thomas to go free without bail.

The fact that he had told the truth with regard to his seeking work saved a man from being gaoled for vagrancy when he came before the Goulburn Police Court yesterday.
He is William Roy Carroll, of no fixed address, and he was sentenced to the rising of the Court.
Constable D. Dulgin told the court of the circumstances in which he had found the defendant in a shed in Back Street.
Other police gave supporting evidence and explained to Mr. A. J. Paton, S.M., who was on the Bench, the conditions under which track rations and relief are granted.
Carroll told Mr. Paton that at the time of his arrest he was genuinely intending to leave Goulburn and find work.
He said he had a suitcase which contained 9 shirts, three hats, a pair of boots, a pair of shoes, a frying pan and “accessories,” and other clothing.
The case was adjourned to check up on his statements and later the suitcase was produced in court.
Constable W. Huff also tendered a letter which indicated that Carroll had sought work at the Government Employment Office.
Mr. Paton said he would give him a chance to get out of Goulburn and threatened to give him a stiff sentence if he came along again on a similar charge.
A driver of a semi-trailer which travelled up to 70 m.p.h. from Mascot to Wollongong, pursued by police, was to-day gaoled for six months.
The driver of the truck, Peter Justin Gleeson, 28, of no fixed address, also ‘had his licence cancelled for three years.
Mr. Avery, S.M., in Central Court, imposed the maximum sentence for the charge of dangerous driving.
Constable Huff, of 21 Division, said the semi-trailer at times veered to the wrong side of the road, forcing traffic to pull up and pedestrians to scatter for safety, while the police car was almost forced on to the foot path.
A road block was put up at Wollongong, but nine miles on the Sydney side, Gleeson lost control of the semi-trailer and ran off the road. Gleeson was found lying in the bush 60 yards away.
June 1956: Constable William (Bill). J. Huff of No. 21 Division, placed the following advertisement in the June issue of the News South Wales Police News Magazine, “ Constable W. J. Huff of 21
Division urgently requires accommodation for himself, wife and one child, and would greatly appreciate any assistance from his Police colleagues to obtain a flat or cottage”. Later in the 1970’s Detective Sergeant Huff was stationed at Liverpool Police Station.

SYDNEY: A 22-year-old man was committed for trial yesterday on a charge of murdering his mother.
Mr Mark Frederick Yarad, unemployed, of Cronulla, appeared in the City Court, charged with having murdered Mrs Alma Isabella Yarad at Cronulla on March 15.
Mr Goldrick, SM, found that a prima facie case against Mr Yarad had been established, and committed him to the present sittings of the Central Criminal Court.
The man’s father said his son had undergone a complete personality change after leaving school, and had been abusive toward his mother
Mr Callile John Yarad, a bookmaker, said his son had been a perfect person until he was 18, being a fine scholar.
After finishing school his son would return home for a while and then go off again, and would never keep in touch with his parents, he said. During this time he had found his son had been taking “pot”.
Mr Yarad said a parcel, which he thought contained a gun, was delivered to his son at their home on the morning of the alleged murder.
That afternoon Mr Yarad sen. had gone out and when he returned he found the police at his house.
Detective-Sergeant W. Huff told the court he had gone to the house and had seen Mr Mark Yarad.
Sergeant Huff said Mr Yarad told him, “I have shot my mother — she’s inside”.
