Statement On Behalf Of The Family Of Trooper Brown

Media Statement On Behalf Of The Family Of Trooper Jason Brown

This statement is issued on behalf of Trooper Brown’s parents Graham and Ann and his sister Stephanie.

Today we were advised of the tragic death of our son, brother and mate while he was serving in Afghanistan.

Jason was a career soldier who dreamed from a young age of being nothing else. Everyone who knew him knew his dream. He strived to be the best he could be at his job and was successfully accepted into the elite Special Air Service Regiment.

He was born to be a soldier, and believed in what he was doing. He died doing what he loved. We are all very proud of him.

We will miss him dearly, as will his army mates, who were his second family.

We ask at this time you respect our privacy and allow us our space to grieve the loss of an exceptional soldier, mate, brother, son and most of all Australian.

ENDS
