Michael Graham Izzard commenced officer training at RMC but eventually transferred to OCS Portsea and became one of the members of the first OCS Class at Scheyville. After some years of poor health ‘Mike’ passed away on 16 December 2025. His wife Trish had been bravely battling pancreatic cancer for the past 12 months. She held on courageously to see out Christmas and their wedding anniversary on 30 December (53 years) and saw in the New Year. However, Trish passed away on 5 January 2026.
Neither Mike nor Trish will have a funeral, but a Celebration of Life for both Mike and Trish will be held at the Belconnen Soccer Club in Canberra from 1200hrs on 31 January 26. See the link below.
