Such sad news and a huge loss for our club. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and all who knew him ❤️

It is with great sadness that Kent Branch has learned of the passing of John Stainer.

John was not only a huge part of lifesaving, but also a dear friend, mentor, and constant source of support to so many. His dedication to the sport was unmatched, always giving his time, knowledge, and encouragement to clubs and branches alike, helping others grow and ensuring lifesaving continued to progress.

John was a true gentleman in every sense of the word — respected, admired, and loved by all who had the privilege to know him. His kindness, wisdom, and unwavering passion will never be forgotten.

He will be deeply missed by everybody whose lives he touched, and his legacy will live on through the countless people he inspired.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who knew him at this difficult time. ❤️
