Bryson Mayne, a young well-loved member of the local community of Rolleston, was only 29 years of age when he was tragically killed while cross-loading cattle from a road train at Gracemere cattle yards last Tuesday 26 August. Bryson was a much-loved member of the Mayne family, a family with generational connections to the Rolleston district. Bryson was born and bred in Rolleston, attended the local primary school in Rolleston and attended Rocky grammar for his secondary education, following his skill when he returned to Rolleston to work on cattle properties in the Rolleston area. Bryson was working as a truck driver for a local transport company at the time of his accident. The Mayne family loses a father, partner and son. Bryson leaves behind a fiancee, Amanda Golding, and an 18-month-old son, Wyatt. I extend my sympathies to Amanda and Wyatt as well as to Bryson's parents, Kim and Karen Mayne; his brothers, Ashley and Bear; his grandparents, Gerald and Fay Mayne; and the community of Rolleston. Rest in peace, Bryson.
