  2. There are all kinds of Beauty in this world and Ashley had the ability to not only see that beauty and share it but help others to look for it themselves.
    We were so privileged to have known Ashley, he was like part of the family and we have missed his smile, his beauty, his enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, intelligence, his kindness and generosity of Spirit.
    Our deepest condolences to Jim, Jean, Brenda and all his family at this time.

  7. We are very sorry to hear of Ash's passing. A true free spirit.
    He put up a good fight.
    We have had the privilege to get to know Ash over 7 years when he did various painting work .
    We knew that he enjoying travelling on his motor bike, was easily accommodated if he had a roof over his head , an open fire, a swag and possibly a bottle of red wine.
    He will be remembered and missed.
    Our sincere condolences to his family.
