In Loving Memory of

Craig McKerchar

11th November 1968 - 27th June 2025

Craig McKerchar’s story starts on November 11, 1968, when he was born in Gore, New Zealand to parents Graham and Gwenda McKerchar, the fourth of their five children. Craigs schooling all took place in Gore, and his early working life saw him working in places such as Gore, Milford Sound, Dunedin and Christchurch. Craig would go on to call Australia home, moving here in 1990 at the age of 21. First arriving in Sydney, Craig eventually went on to work for many years as a Department Manager and made his home and life in and with the community of Balwyn North in Melbourne. Craig is loved by family and friends alike. He will be missed and always remembered by the many people whose lives he touched in some small way. We encourage you to help keep Craigs story alive by sharing a memory, a photo or reflection of your time with Craig.
