Join us to celebrate the life of our beloved, Donnie.

We have been overwhelmed by the love and beautiful messages we have received since Donnie passed away in December.

We want to remember him in a place where many of his life-long friendships were formed, Stannies.

A memorial service will be held at St Stanislaus’ College Chapel, Bathurst, on the 23rd of January at 12pm.

Immediately following the service, we invite all of his friends and family to join us at Church Bar for light refreshments and to raise a glass to Donnie.

We would like this to be a celebration of his fun-filled life and a way for us all to reflect on what he meant to us, so please wear a splash of colour in honour of his larger-than-life personality.

Many of you have also shared wonderful photos of Donnie from your own archives, including the images featured above.

If you would like to contribute additional photos for the memorial, please send them to contact@donnievarcoe.memorial.

We would also like to continue honouring his memory by establishing a memorial fund in his name at Stannies. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made via the links on the Memorial Fund page here.

You will find details of the service here.

The address for the reception at Church Bar is here.

If you are unable to attend the service, the livestream link will be available here on the 23rd of January.
