Support for Kelli McCombe and her family - MHDAS
Donation protected
On Tuesday 19th November, we received the heartbreaking news that Travis McCombe passed away while on holiday in Papua New Guinea. At this stage, it is believed that he suffered from a medical episode while swimming and could not be revived.
Travis passed away on his 53rd birthday, in the same place where he was born. He is survived by wife Kelli, sons Finn and Marley, and daughter Sammy.
Kelli is a Mental Health Nurse, supporting those in absolute crisis and at low points in their lives. Kelli is kind, compassionate and dedicated to supporting those in the Geelong community - her colleagues at MHDAS would love for the community to wrap their arms of support around her whilst she now navigates this devastating part of her life.
His family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support from everyone. It has been heartwarming to see how many lives he impacted and how much he meant to so many. We know he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
We understand that many of you may have questions. Belmont Physiotherapy Centre will remain open, and the incredible staff are here to provide support to anyone who needs it. We kindly ask that you continue to support the clinic in whatever way you can, as we know this is what Trav would have wanted. This community has always been a second family, and the McCombe's are truly grateful for each of you.
The McCombe Family have travelled to PNG trying to navigate this difficult time and face what's next. They plan to bring him home and grieve this huge loss together.
Any contribution will be greatly appreciated to put towards practical things to support the family during this time.
