Supporting CAPT Danniel Lyon's Wife and Children

On the night of 28th of July 2023, Captain Danniel “Diesel” Lyon was involved in a Helicopter Accident in the Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia. This unthinkable accident occurred whilst Dan was serving his country, away from his family, and resulted in the loss of Danniel and his 3 Crew Members - Max, Phil and Alex.

Danniel was a devoted husband to his loving wife, and a committed father to his two young children aged five and one. He was a best friend to many in various global communities, whom all loved him so dearly. Their lives are now forever changed.

The profound loss and sadness his family is experiencing cannot be described in words. We humbly ask for help to support Dan's wife and children as they navigate life without him over the coming days, months and years. The family are eternally grateful for all the kind wishes, thoughts and prayers they have received and are appreciative of your help in keeping Dan’s memory alive.
