In Lieu of Flowers at Calum's Funeral

Aim

Supporting the rescue services in Frankston, Australia and a local branch of the Cats Protection in Aberdeen/shire

Calum Ian McCombie

21 April 1989 - 22 October 2025

We lost our son tragically on 22 October 2025, in a surfing accident in Frankston, Victoria, his close friend also tragically lost his life trying to save Calum.  Calum had lived in Australia for 14 years, he was a keen skateboarder and had taken up surfing 2 years ago.

Calum was a beautiful person, everyone who was lucky enough to meet Calum loved him.  

We are only having family flowers at his funeral, but have set up this page to raise money for the Rescue Services in Frankston, who did everything they could to try to rescue both Calum and his friend Nicho.  Calum loved animals and as family we have always had cats so we will also be supporting a local branch of Cats Protection.

We are heartbroken that our son has gone too soon, he will be sorely missed by us all.
