A large scale search operation involving emergency services personnel and lifeguards, was conducted for almost a week while those who loved him waited on the shoreline for news.
The memorial service on Wednesday morning brought together family and all those who have supported them, to celebrate the young man’s life. Dozens of brightly coloured balloons were released into the air as a final farewell.
Bronson was a student at Wauchope High School and member of the Wauchope Junior Rugby League community.
