My wife Linzi loved her Dad and my children Briar and Thomas loved their Grandpa.
Bryan was a winner and just kept going.
I am honored to have shared some of his travelers´ tales, and as a family member to have shared his family home at Elizabeth Bay. Bryan was a great lover of Sydney and of Jazz.

Massey High School is saddened to hear of the passing of Bryan Heron. Bryan was a dedicated supporter of Massey High School over many years. His generosity enabled students here to flourish in the performing arts, particularly music. His sponsorship enabled many of our students to travel overseas, allowing them to experience other cultures and languages - most notably tours of Germany. He also fostered academic excellence, with our highest academic award each year - the school Dux - being the recipient of his generosity.

Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Thank you, Bryan, from all in the Massey High School community.
