A special memorial service was held in Bowen last week to honour the life of Sergeant Ryan Gregory who tragically passed away following a short battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer late last year.
An integral part of the team at Bowen Police Station, Sergeant Gregory was a much-loved police officer and father-of-two.
When the community found out about his diagnosis they rallied around, the broader police force starting a charity drive which saw mangoes donated and then sold right across the state to raise money for Sergeant Gregory’s family.
Almost a year on and the community are still grieving, but the memorial service held in Bowen as part of Police Remembrance Day helped give many of his colleagues take a moment to think about their friend, whose life was taken too soon.
Sergeant Gregory was remembered for his calm and kind presence, the sort of person who was always ready to help others and a worthy role-model for local children.
Born in Townsville, he started his police career in south Queensland before moving to Bowen to settle down.
He is survived by wife Kimberly and their children Maddie and Sam.
