Michael RING Obituary

RING, Michael Stephen (Micky). 6 September 1956 - 24 June 2025 Passed suddenly. Mick my mate 37 years together 24/7 and I would not swap one hour of that. You've watched my children Sarah, Sam and Dylan grow from birth to this day. Had Christmases, weddings, birthdays, holidays under our watch. Even business class to Fiji drinking champagne in flight. Mick a big thank you for our meat truck years of 19 hour days, shearing, docking, mustering, lawns, feeding the dogs, firewood, dishes. Your appetite for work was enormous right till the end. To my daughter Sarah, a big thank you for being with Micky till the end, playing ShaniaTwain. Now as I look at my shadow it is smaller. Mick my heart is broken, your mate Gary. Ring family you have no idea what you have missed .

You be so proud of the difference to Micks life you made.
And Sarah, if you read this too .... you are a brave and beautiful soul, love you too.
Mick.... the McCathie family, and so many that have at some stage shared your life, we will never forget you.

Mickey you are a legend mate. It was so much fun having you riding in our trucks making sure Gary was behaving himself and doing the job properly
Have often thought of you over the years since we last saw each other.
Fly high my friend. You will be missed by many. Gary your last sentence. Truer words could not be spoken mate.
Watch out for the god squad up there Mick. Rip mate

Your words are the truth Gary, the years when you both worked with us and our 3 kids were small, the kids adored him. Mick was always a source of entertainment during our after work drinks. Im sure you will be a little bit lost without him. You gave him a wonderful life, one that not many others would do, and your right they are the ones that loose and didn't get to experience the joy he's brought to your life.
