Rest In Peace Mark Ricketts

This morning I sent an email to a friend and Kneelo asking if he wanted to go for a surf this Saturday. I was absolutely devastated when I received this email from his partner.

I know you will be shocked to know that Mark died very unexpectedly last Friday. It was totally unexpected and we still do not know why – but no pain – very quick.
The Currimundi surfers held a paddle out for him on Saturday. We will be having a memorial service on Saturday 14 May at 11am at the Old Witta School, Witta near Maleny. If you would like to come along, please do so. Wear colourful shirt and no black please. We will celebrate all the happy times.
Love

Mark was a real gentleman and very passionate about knee boarding and life in general. My only regret is not knowing him as well as I would have liked.
RIP Mark Ricketts.
