In loving memory

Andy Price

Husband, brother, uncle, godfather, friend, protector, mentor and community builder whose care for people shaped every room he entered.

The measure of a life

Strength made kind. Leadership made personal.

Andy was larger than life without ever losing sight of the person in front of him. From Metropolis in Fremantle and Discovery Darwin to the Public Order Response Unit, NT Fight Series, Personal Protection Strategies and humID, he kept turning relationships into practical help. He could be formidable, tender, stubborn, cheeky and deeply generous—often in the same afternoon.

The Andy people remember

A life told in the details

The grand achievements mattered, but so did the Thursday haircut, the young bloke at Dani’s Sunday table and the ridiculous dance Sharon Kimberley remembered whenever an office needed cheering up.

Dani was his home

A chance collision around a Fremantle corner reunited Andy and Danielle Gough in 2007. Coffee became friendship, then eighteen years of shared life, tea after late shifts and plans built together.

Friends became brothers

Fruit from Astro became friendship, brotherhood and the shared family of Crystal, Valentina and Dante. A first shift with Josh King became years of laughter, purpose and calls filled with advice or ribbing.

Concern became action

With Josh King, Andrew Sauer, Sharon Kimberley, Benjamin Smith and many others, Andy kept asking what could be made safer, more useful and more human—and then helped build it.
