Ian White 1966 – 2025

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Ian White, a dedicated member and valued volunteer of the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron.

Ian was a member for over eight years and a passionate volunteer for over a decade whose contributions to the Squadron were truly appreciated. His enthusiasm, generosity, and camaraderie made a lasting impact on those around him.

Ian loved being part of the Squadron as a member and volunteer and his presence will be greatly missed.

On behalf of the Squadron, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Rebecca and Ian’s family during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with them as we remember Ian and his dedication to our community.
