A message and update from the Dargan Family….
On behalf of Troy (TJs) parents, siblings and family, we wish to express our genuine gratitude to all those who contributed to bringing our son home.
We understand that this financial climate makes it extremely difficult for families, especially at Xmas time. We are thankful that our family have been in your thoughts
The outpouring of love and support we have received since the passing of our son, has been extremely overwhelming and deeply felt from us as his parents and broader family.
We can not start to express our gratitude to the NRL community and particularly the clubs Troy (TJ) had played for over the years.
Due to the overwhelming receipt of donations via go fund me, we have well exceeded the amount necessary to bring our son home. We will be closing the account today. We will never have enough “thank yous” for your thoughts, prayers and love.
He is coming home! This only happened because of your unbelievable generosity.
In particular a special mention to Casey Ralph and the Ralph family who assisted in the reparation of our son coming home.
Troy (TJ) will be departing Rarotonga , Cook Islands on Thursday (CI time) arriving back home in Sydney on Saturday.
Please know that all the messages, comments, calls and loving conversations, have been the only way we’ve been able to get through the most traumatic, distressing time in our lives.
We are in shock to know that our son made such an impression on so many people across Australia and abroad.
In the next week or so, we will be able to provide details of his funeral arrangements, for anyone who wishes to say their last goodbyes.
Troy and Wendy Dargan
