The shock death of a young Noosa man in Bali has triggered an outpouring of grief in the community, as locals rally to bring the much-loved son and brother home.

A GoFundMe created on Tuesday stated Byron Haddow died while on a holiday in Bali.

“On the morning of the 26th of May we unfortunately lost Byron whilst he was on holidays in Bali. A son, brother, and friend to many taken way too soon,” the fundraiser stated.

“As many of you know he was living his life to the fullest, working away, and achieving so many things.”

Funds raised through the GoFundMe will be used to bring Byron back home, according to organiser.

“All donations will go towards helping bring Byron home to his family, funeral arrangements and expenses to help his family through this tough time,” the fundraiser stated.

Holiday photos from Bali were last shared to one of Byron’s social media account two days ago showing locations in the popular beachside destination of Legian.

Another photograph posted many weeks ago was tagged as being taken at Mushroom Bay on Nusa Lembongan island.

Other photos showed Byron in Seminyak last year.

The self-described video creator also regularly shared videos and photos showing the life of a FIFO worker.

Tributes from Byron’s friends have remembered him as ambitious and hardworking.

“Rest in peace my brother from another mother you’ve been taken too soon,” one social media post stated.

“I’ll always remember the good days and times we have had and the mischief we made and got up to love you always brother.”

Another wrote he would “never forget” Byron’s laughter and ambition.

“Rest in paradise my bro,” it stated.

The GoFundMe created for the Haddow family had raised $20,901 as of Wednesday morning.

The Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade has been contacted by this publication for comment.
