It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that we announce the Greg passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, 7 June, following complications from surgery. He was surrounded by his wife and children at the time.

He was very much beloved by all who knew him —his legacy will live on forever. We are going to miss him greatly.

Please join Colleen, her family, Brotherhood CMC, and the whole Street Level Community, as we mourn the loss of a great man, Gregory John “Hirsty” Hirst. We want celebrate together a life well lived, as much as the achievements and legacy that Greg has left behind. A mass ride will be followed by a service and wake. Refreshments will be served after the service. We hope you can join us.

Brotherhood CMC are hosting a ride to escort the hearse and family to the venue. All riders welcome. Please note we will be travelling along the centre lane of the M4 at 80km/h in a staggered formation. Respect all other traffic and allow vehicles to merge across the centre lane when necessary. Take the Mulgoa Road exit and turn left into Retreat Drive. Please obey all road rules.

Colleen’s home is now filled with flowers and chocolates, which she has received with much gratitude. So, rather than bringing her a gift, please consider donating through the Street Level Supporters link here: http://streetlevelchristiancommunity.org.au/supporters/ and until the end of July we will direct those donations to causes and charities close to Greg’s heart.

Hirsty’s books will also be available at the wake for a suggested donation of $20 each.
