GEORGE BROWN
FAMILY STATEMENT
George (father, brother, uncle) loved and valued his adored family, and the love was reciprocated. My Dad always made us laugh and gave the best hugs.
The admiration and passion he displayed on a daily basis for his profession as a horse trainer was acknowledged by his family, friends and work colleagues. Hard working and tenacity was his motto through his short lived life.
Georges love of horses turned out to be an unimaginable horror story, when someone decided that it was there given right to end his life. Fact is, he was an innocent caring, courageous man.
Our plea to all is, if you are harbouring information or know of anyone with any hidden agendas, please contact the correct authorities, which may help solve this violent and utterly heinous
crime. It will give our family some closure.
