The AFL North Coast community is saddened by the passing of Andy Johnston.
A great volunteer and club president at the Nambucca Valley Lions AFL
Sincerest condolences to Jenny, Nikki, Trent and Andy’s grandchildren who Andy loved to watch play.

🦁❤️ Vale Andy Johnston ❤️🦁

Our hearts are heavy as we farewell our President, friend and fellow Lion, Andy Johnston.

Without Andy, the Nambucca Valley Lions would not be the club it is today. His passion, dedication and leadership helped build something truly special for our community.

To Jen, Nicky, Trent, Wilson, Miller and Poppy — your Lions family loves you and stands with you.

🦁💛 Rest easy, Andy. Forever a Lion.
