With Deepest Sadness – In Memory of Graham Ayliffe

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Graham Ayliffe – a beloved member of the Raiders family and proud father of Raiders stalwart Brandon Ayliffe.

We learned of this tragic loss from his loving wife Tanya, who asked us to share the following message with our Gold & Blue faithful:

“Well… our world has crumbled around us yesterday. I don’t even have the correct words for this… But to write these words is breaking us all.
Graham Ayliffe passed away with his beautiful family by his side… he took a turn for the worse and went to sleep peacefully.
Please keep us all in your love, thoughts, and prayers — as a family, we are truly broken with this unexpected passing.”

Graham was a constant presence, home and away – always supporting Brandon and embodying the true spirit of the Raiders community. His warmth, loyalty, and unwavering passion will never be forgotten.

We know the entire Raiders family will join us in sending our deepest condolences to Tanya, Brandon, Shanice, the grandchildren and all who knew and loved Graham.

Funeral details will be shared in due course.
Rest in peace, Graham. You will be deeply missed.
