Vale Trevor King

With great sadness, we share the unexpected passing of life member Trevor King after a short illness.

A True Club Man

Trevor arrived at the club in the 1994/95 season after being invited down by his best mate and fellow life member, Frank McCann. From the moment he joined, Trevor or Kingy, as he was affectionately known, became an integral part of the club community. He ran the weekly raffles, served as net captain, and took on the role of chairman of selectors in his early years.

"A great man who always had time for a chat. Always made you feel as if you were at the centre of the conversation and with a smile on his face."

The 'King' of Afternoon Teas

However, Trev truly made his mark on the club preparing the afternoon teas for the playing group, a responsibility he proudly and passionately fulfilled for over 20 years. His afternoon teas set a benchmark for catering across the ECA, a standard fondly remembered and still spoken about today.

Trev was a ripping bloke who left a big mark on everyone around him. The place won’t be the same without you.

Kingy stepped away from the role during the pavilion redevelopment and the disruptions of Covid in 2020. After five years away, he returned this season, and we were fortunate to have him once again contributing and around the club right until the end.

Our deepest condolences go to his son Michael, daughter Laura, his partner Lynn, the extended family, and all who knew and loved him as much as we did.

Rest in Peace, Kingy.

A Celebration of Life

Since we announced Trev's passing, our Heathmont Cricket Community pages have been flooded with kind words and people sharing fond memories.

"Thanks to all at the HCC, he truly loved all the time he spent down there and all the lifelong friendships he made."

In his final hours, he asked for a celebration of life at one of his favourite place: Heathmont Cricket Club. Trevor's family would like to welcome everyone to celebrate his life at an informal gathering with stories, laughs and of course, a few drinks!
