Our Workmate And Friend Funeral Tribute Template Example is designed to help you pay a fitting tribute to your loved ones memory.
Good morning everyone,
My name is Kym Mosey, Open Cut Mining Superintendent at TGO. Today, we gather to celebrate the life and cherish the memories of our beloved colleague and friend, Mitch Petrie. Mitch was not only a remarkable worker, but also a loving father, a devoted partner, and most importantly, a great friend to all who had the fortune of knowing him.
For the past 10 years, I have had the privilege of working alongside Mitch, through the beginning of open cut operations at Tomingley Gold with MAAS to becoming a key leading operator with TGO. He ventured to various opportunities at North Parkes, Coates, and National Rail, eventually returning to TGO as part of the Underground team, before seizing the opportunity to come back to Open Cut – a place he once told me made him feel "most at home with his work family."
One thing that remains undisputed is the indelible impact Mitch's charismatic personality left on everyone he met. Today's attendance is a testament to this fact. He was an extraordinary individual who effortlessly commanded attention, not just for his flawless skin complexion, which was often envied, or his impeccable sense of style, but also for his ability to light up any room he entered with a unique and engaging energy. A teammate once remarked that Mitch's mere presence created an "air of energy" that brought life to any gathering.
Mitch's untimely departure has left an immense void that will be hard to fill. Nevertheless, let us all find solace in knowing that his memory will forever remain etched in our hearts. As we all continue on our respective journeys, let us hold on to the many invaluable lessons, laughter, and love that Mitch imparted to us.
In conclusion, I'd like to encourage each of us to strive to exemplify the virtues Mitch stood for – unwavering dedication to his work, loyalty to his friends and family, and a passionate zest for life. Let Mitch's spirit and legacy continue to inspire us as we navigate this world without him.
Thank you all for joining us to celebrate the vibrant life of Mitch Petrie, an invaluable friend, a cherished teammate, and an unforgettable soul. May he rest in peace, knowing that his memory will live on in our hearts and actions.
