Reece Pedretti

By Sian Pedretti

We are incredibly grateful for the care and support we’ve received from Bendigo Health throughout Reece’s illness, particularly from the remarkable Palliative Care team. The empathy and kindness shown by these dedicated professionals during such an unimaginable time has meant the world to us. Their compassion helped us navigate the most difficult moments, and we will be forever thankful for their unwavering support. 

In memory of Reece, we would like to invite you to consider donating to Palliative Care, so that other families experiencing similar challenges can benefit from the exceptional care and support that hospice provides. Their dedication truly made a difference in Reece's final days, and we hope to see others receive the same comfort and dignity that we did. 

Thank you to my Sponsors

Reece was an absolute legend of a human and this is the perfect to way to honour his life. The team at palliative care were amazing to my family when my Dad passed 2 years ago - they provided empathy, kindness and dignity to my Dad at the time he needed it most. Much love to you and your family Sian xx

You were loving, funny, caring and friendly to those fortunate to know you, Reece. Our hearts break for your family and friends, Sian. Unfortunately, Cyclone Alfred prevented us from being there to share the memories in person today, but we were with you all in spirit, via the live stream. Reece, we’ve been great friends for 25 years. Thanks for brightening my life. RIP, Legend. I love you, mate. Adam ❤️

Reecy was one in a million, always had a smile on his face, always so positive and never had a bad word to say about anyone. Absolutely devastated.

Sian i just can't find the words I'm just heartbroken for you and the kids 💔. I want to give you my first experience with Reece we were on the bus to Phillip for the bball and I seen this bloke up front with a beanie headband with blonde hair coming out of the top he looked like he was from a boy band i thought what a goof. But the next day we did the high line walk we did the whole thing and that's when reece and I got talking and we talked so much if it wasn't minus 3 degrees our mouths would've caught fire. The bloke amazed and inspired me we both found out we both are step dads and have our own and the way he talked about family and life I could see how much love and fun he had for life and family I knew right there and then I need this positive human in my life it was like love at second sight. We had planned our future to have our families go to halls gap so the kids can play and we can relax at the caravan park I'll forever regret never doing this. So I have much more I could say but we will save it for another time. I'll forever love reece and I'm sad I only knew him for 6 years but will also be grateful to have met the great family man. Love too you all ❤️

Have known Reece since GSSC days and he was a great guy. Then years later, he and Joey McKern sang at our wedding reception. An acquaintance to both me and my husband over the years, but with lovely memories of a nice guy. Way too young. Love to Dallas & Sian & kids.
