Vale Greg Rollason OAM

It is with great sadness that the Lions Club of Sandstone Point advises of the passing of our member, Past District Governor, Greg Rollason OAM, after a battle with cancer on Friday November 14, 2025. Greg has left behind a loving wife, Wendy,  three daughters and grandchildren. 

The passing of Greg is a mammoth loss to the local area, which has lost a true campaigner for anyone in need in our community. Greg’s humanity and generosity of community spirit spread far and wide from his involvement in Lions International, where he was a current member of the Lions Club of Sandstone Point and a former member of the Lions Club of Bribie Island. Greg was a past District Governor of Lions District 2013, where he oversaw more than 70 Lions clubs from Bribie Island to Quilpie. Greg was a passionate Lion and travelled supporting various Lions projects and foundations with Australia and overseas.       

Locally, Greg was dedicated to helping the homeless, those affected by domestic violence and was a leader in setting up the East Pumicestone Support Association (EPCSA), which was established for that reason. 

He also had current or past involvement with the Bribie Island Neighbourhood Centre, TOC H, Bribie Island Hospice fundraising, the organisation of Bribie Island’s annual Christmas Carols at Brennan Park and so many more organisations. He was also an elder at St Peter’s Anglican Church Bribie Island and ran the Bongaree Neighbourhood Watch for many years. 

Whenever there was a call for help Greg would be there, whether it be cooking a sausage, moving someone into accommodation, moving furniture or whatever else was needed at the time. 

We know that Greg will be remembered by all that either knew him or knew him by reputation as a very kind, considerate and compassionate man. 

We hope that his legacy will continue with others making an effort to support those in need in our community. 

For his community and charitable work, Greg was awarded the OAM in this year’s Kings Birthday Awards. An award he was proud of, but was also humbled by it.
