    Vale Jarrod Lyle



    Condolences to Family and Friends.

    My wife went to school with his mother and knew the family well as they came from a very small town of Dookie where my wife was brought up. Very sad.

    I lost my dad to cancer last year, condolences to the Lyles.

    Cancer is shit, I hate it.

      He's been fighting this scourge for most of his adult life, and he did it with a smile and with time for everybody. Amazing man.

        Was about to post this myself. He epitomised grace, tenacity, courage and strength in the face of serious adversity and impending death, all while performing at an elite level of sport. A true role model. I wish more professional athletes were like Jarrod. His family will no doubt be in grief as emotion, but they can equally be proud in emotion too.

          Terribly sad, I had a little bit to do with Jarrod when he was first diagnosed with cancer in his late teens. He was a terrific support for a friend of mine who lost his battle to cancer at the age of 17.

          Jarrod fought with grace and dignity right till the end. Condolences to his family. Certainly feeling it today. RIP

              Very sad news. Life can be so unfair sometimes. Gone way too soon. Condolences to his family and friends.

                  17 is so young. So much about to happen.

                      He shared a room at Royal Melbourne Hospital with my father when Jarrod was undergoing treatment the second time. His wife had only just recently had Lusi.

                      Such a lovely, genuine guy.

                      Condolences to his family and friends, gone far too soon.
                      Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

                      Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

                      And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

                        I don't cry very often, I cried reading & watching tributes to Jarrod. Selfless man, who drained every bit of life out of his body he could.

                          Man, that is a gut wrenching read.

                          36 is way too young but what a life he lived, squeezed all he could out of it.
                          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                            I shouldn't have read that at work, wearing mascara.

                            Comrade got the gut wrenching bit right.
