In Loving Memory of Jimmy Webster
It is with the heaviest of hearts that family, friends, and the wider community mourn the tragic loss of Jimmy Webster, a vibrant 14-year-old whose life was cut short far too soon in a devastating accident. The news has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew him, and tributes are pouring in for a young boy remembered for his kindness, generosity, and infectious spirit.
Jimmy was more than just a son, friend, and teammate—he was a shining light in the lives of many. Just like his father, Tim Webster, who is known by those around him as a legend of a bloke, Jimmy carried those same qualities of warmth, generosity, and loyalty. Always willing to lend a hand, Jimmy was the kind of person who would do anything to help someone in need, no matter the circumstance. His loss is not just a tragedy for his family, but for everyone fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him.
A Community Standing Together
In the face of such heartbreak, the community has rallied together in support of the Webster family. Friends, teammates, and local supporters have united to honor Jimmy’s memory and ease some of the heavy burdens his family now faces.
Tyler Hodgman and Paxton Pulford have announced that they will be running a clinic, with all proceeds going directly to the Webster family. While the exact date and details are yet to be confirmed, the event promises to be a meaningful way for the community to come together, celebrate Jimmy’s life, and provide much-needed assistance during this devastating time.
Adding to the hardship, the family’s horses remain in intensive veterinary care following the tragedy, placing additional financial strain on the Websters. These animals, deeply cherished by the family, symbolize yet another layer of love and responsibility they must now shoulder while navigating their grief.
Support Through Fundraising
Jimmy’s beloved footy mates have also stepped in to help, setting up a GoFundMe page in honor of their friend and teammate. The page has been created to provide financial relief to the Webster family during this incredibly difficult period, helping cover not only immediate costs but also the ongoing challenges they now face.
Every donation, no matter the size, carries with it the love and support of the community. Contributions will go a long way in helping the Websters manage medical expenses, animal care, and day-to-day needs as they mourn their unimaginable loss. For those who may not be in a position to donate, simply sharing the link with others is a powerful way to keep Jimmy’s memory alive and ensure his family receives the help they need.
A Legacy of Love
Though Jimmy’s time here was heartbreakingly short, his legacy is one of love, kindness, and community spirit. He will be remembered as a boy full of life, with a heart bigger than most, who loved his family, his friends, and his sport. His memory will live on not only in the hearts of those who loved him most, but also in every act of kindness and generosity inspired by his story.
The Webster family, while devastated by their loss, have expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support shown during this time. From organized clinics and fundraisers to heartfelt messages of condolences, the strength of community has been a reminder that they are not alone in their grief.
