Funds raised for Brit’s repatriation

Joshua Santos Christian, who was known by the names Santos, Seddon, Sandy and Yoshie has been remembered as “a beautiful soul … a very special person who touched many hearts“ and whose life was taken in a tragic accident last week after jumping from a Noosa Parade bridge.

A gofundme page has been established for the repatriation of his body from Brisbane to his home in the Wirral in north west England.

“He moved to Australia and was in a happy place smashing life with his Aussie tribe and his loving girlfriend, Becca. He passed happy and loving life and always living up to his mottos of “living life in the fast lane“… “here for a good time not a long time“… “sexy first, safety second“, it says on the page set up by family and friends.

“Josh lived for his friends and beautiful family. He loved finding the joy and passion in everything, he completely embodied music and dancing, both were in his blood, he danced first and thought later.“

A ceremony for Josh is to be held at Landican Crematorium in Wirral and family and friends have sought contributions to return him home and bring them some comfort.

In only a week more than 27,000 pounds has been donated and many have posted their love and fond memories of Josh.
