Such a beautiful soul, gone way too soon. I was one of Declan’s teachers at Wesley Elsternwick and his star shone so brightly. Declan was always so spirited and fun to teach – one in a billion!
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Much love,
Anne- Louse
You all did a great job speaking at the funeral conveying Declan’s amazing life and sharing many fond memories. Although we had not seen him for many years, I now feel that we knew him well.
My deepest sympathies for the loss of your beloved son and brother. My deepest sympathies to David for the loss of your beloved nephew. My deepest sympathies to Jake, Deb, and Mae (and of course, Hamlet). My deepest sympathies to Miriam, and thank you for so generously and gracefully leading Declan’s tribute.
Thank you for sharing this most beautiful and moving tribute to Declan.
Although I did not know Declan or meet him, I now wish that I had.
The love you have for each other is deep and extraordinary. May your treasured memories of Declan and your relationships with him endure, comfort and sustain you.
“How can I make the future of the World a little bit better?”
By following Declan’s example; Live Life: explore, be curious, be adventurous, bold and inquisitive; see the funny side, but be respectful and caring. And above all: be generous and kind.
Thank you for the privilege of experiencing this terrific celebration of a remarkable young man’s tragically short life.
Charles Perkins said: We cannot live in the past, but the past lives in us.
I wish Declan’s wonderful family, especially Jane, Alan and Charlotte, and Declan’s loyal, inspirational and courageous friends Mae and Jake, comfort and strength at this most difficult time.
I am deeply saddened by the news of the loss of such a wonderful young person. I only knew Declan for a few years as one of his teachers at Wesley Elsternwick. He was such a beautiful soul and brought joy wherever he went.
Rest in Peace dearest Declan.
Thank you for sharing the life of your adorable son Declan.
Such a beautiful courageous celebration of his amazing life.
It is with a broken heart, deepest empathy, sympathy and compassion I send you a universe of love, strength, courage, and serenity at this difficult time! So very hard to believe!
It was a privilege to know and love such a beautiful, intelligent, friendly, humorous and kind young man, who will be so sadly missed but always so lovingly remembered.
Declan always had the time to stop for a chat, and had the knack of somehow making you feel so very special.
I can only imagine how devastatingly sad it is for you all, but also how proud you all must be, of the amazing young man Declan had become, and all that he had accomplished. Rest in peace gorgeous Declan.
Our heartfelt condolences to all who love Declan. We remember, from when we knew him at Wesley Elsternwick, Declan’s brightest-of-eyes, his keen intelligence, his enthusiasm and his unbounded quest for knowledge. It was clear from your words at yesterday’s service that Declan was deeply appreciated, loved and cherished, and well-supported by those closest to him, and we hope that you’ll take some comfort from that. We wish you courage and strength.
Dear Alan, Jane, Charlotte, Family And Friends
Thank you for sharing a beautiful and moving tribute to Declan. It was remembering an incredible young man and how he inspired and touched many lives with his enthusiasm and creative talents. He will live on in our hearts and our own lives have been made richer by knowing such an inspirational young man. May he Rest in Peace.
Andrew and Kay Bright
I was so shocked & deeply saddened to learn of Declan’s passing.
Kathy & I just watched his funeral service on-line and were so touched, comforted & inspired by each of the loving tributes to such an amazing young man whose life was cut far too short.
I will always remember my first meeting with him back in 2001 when he was about 5 years old.
Having just taken over from Norma Nixon, I had settled into her old office when I heard a child shouting loudly & running down the office passage way. He rounded the corner and came to my office doorway looking for Norma’s lolly jar. Looking aghast at the new version of Norma, he momentarily froze whilst I attempted to introduce myself. But then he about-faced and bolted back up the passageway. Subsequently a new lolly jar was reinstated in the accounts office.
My thoughts & condolences are with you Alan, Jane, Charlotte, Mae, Jake and your wider families. May your loving memories of Declan fill your hearts with ongoing pride and courage.
Sincerely yours,
Brian Gridley

That was such a beautiful service celebrating Declan’s life.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful service. A wonderful celebration of Declan’s life. May all the memories you have bring you comfort and strength during this difficult time.
It is with a profound sadness that I wish to convey my deep condolences at your loss of Declan. It pains me to think that I have never met Declan in person but watching the service brought memories of my childhood when as a very young new arrival in the country I was fully welcomed as a member of the Oppenheim family.
Gerald and later Rae became my Australian siblings, it seems this spirit of thoughtfulness, kindness and compassion for others has passed on through the generations to your Declan.
I was very moved by the service and feel your pain.
Dear Alan and Jane
No words to express in this difficult situation ,we pray to God almighty to give you strength to bear this loss ,in this difficult time we are always with you.
That was a beautiful service. It was lovely to learn more about his early life. I have fond memories of our late teens when I met Declan through Liza. Highlights include our road trip around Tasmania, camping in Daylesford for New Year’s Eve 2015, and our holiday in Mansfield in 2017. He was always so much fun to have around.
My condolences go out to Alan, Jane and Charlie.
Dear Jane, Alan and Charlotte,
Thinking of you all. So sorry for your loss.
May your memories of Declan and the love of your family and friends surround you and give you peace in the days ahead.

To dear Alan, Jane, Charlotte and extended family,
Thank you for allowing me to be apart of Declan’s celebration of life.
Truly a loved person by all who knew him.
I remember meeting Declan for probably the second time in Croatia. After nearly a 40 hour flight and about to board a bus to Split, a flash goes off, he had taken my photo. I begged him not to publish it anywhere. He just replied ever so politely where he would publish it, (cheeky bugger)
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love from
Rosemarie Garsia
Jane, Alan, Please remember that you are not alone. we are always here for you, May your memories give you peace and comfort , Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, Wishing you as much peace as possible during this difficult time

Our love and thoughts are with you,
Robynne and Alex
Years pass- memories flood back. Watching David was like watching Gerald circa 1973 (without the Dresden accent). Alan you are a combination of Gerald and Rae; viva Ego Pharmaceuticals (it never was “a dirty word”). Declan’s love of great coffee and disdain of everything Murdoch sit so well with my sensibilities. As they say in Hebrew, “I wish you all a long life”. Vale a creative, handsome soul.
From my family to yours. Sending our Love, thoughts and prayers to you Alan and Jane.
I hope you feel the collective arms of your Ego Family wrapped around you at this time.
So heart-breaking a moment for all of us whose lives Declan touched so deeply. He was a truly extraordinary young man; much adored by his lucky teachers at Wesley, Elsternwick.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. I remember Declan as a lovely young boy who grew up to be a lovely young man. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Dear Alan, Jane & Charlotte,
From my Family to yours……We are so sad for your loss.
You clearly have millions of fond memories of Declan that I am sure you will cherish forever…
I am proud to have met your son and brother, a very witty, charismatic, intelligent young man that I know whom has friended all of us here at Ego…

I offer my thoughts, prayers and well wishes during this dark time.
May my condolences bring you comfort and may my prayers ease the pain of this loss.
Goodbye musketeer, thank you so very much for all the memories. Your fierce friendship and support, offbeat humour that would always catch me off guard and cause long laughing fits; and the endlessly entertaining debates and conversations we had both during our school years and whenever we would run into each other in the days after (we would always seem to easily pick up from the last time we left off) are all things that will continue to make me smile. Love and hugs.
Words just can’t say enough. Know that I mourn with you and pray for your strength through this painful loss. With heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your son, Declan. May the love, prayers and support of your family and friends bring you comfort during this most difficult time.

We were so deeply saddened by the passing of Declan Oppenheim. Our enduring memory of Declan is of an incredibly intelligent, insightful, caring and thoroughly lovely young man. His extraordinary talent for film-making was evident from a young age and we will always cherish the photographs and videos he made while at Wesley College. May he rest in peace. Our heartfelt thoughts are extended to his parents, Jane and Alan, and his sister Charlotte.
Such a beautiful soul, gone way too soon. I was one of Declan’s teachers at Wesley Elsternwick and his star shone so brightly. Declan was always so spirited and fun to teach – one in a billion!
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Much love,
Anne- Louse

I am so very sorry for your loss.
Much love,
Craig

Andrew and Kay Bright
I was so shocked & deeply saddened to learn of Declan’s passing.
Kathy & I just watched his funeral service on-line and were so touched, comforted & inspired by each of the loving tributes to such an amazing young man whose life was cut far too short.
I will always remember my first meeting with him back in 2001 when he was about 5 years old.
Having just taken over from Norma Nixon, I had settled into her old office when I heard a child shouting loudly & running down the office passage way. He rounded the corner and came to my office doorway looking for Norma’s lolly jar. Looking aghast at the new version of Norma, he momentarily froze whilst I attempted to introduce myself. But then he about-faced and bolted back up the passageway. Subsequently a new lolly jar was reinstated in the accounts office.
My thoughts & condolences are with you Alan, Jane, Charlotte, Mae, Jake and your wider families. May your loving memories of Declan fill your hearts with ongoing pride and courage.
Sincerely yours,
Brian Gridley

Thank you for sharing your brilliant son’s service with us. It was such a privilege to learn about such a wonderful, kind, intelligent and creative young man. He saw, achieved, experienced so much in his short life and most of all touched the hearts of those closest to him. What a gift our children are to our lives and what a treasured gift Declan was to his family, friends and colleagues. We can all take away some Declan inspiration and do our part to make this world a better place. Condolences to you all. With Love

His Journey’s Just Begun – Ellen Brenneman
Don’t think of him as gone away
his journey’s just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.
Thinking of you,
Barry and Lesley
Love from Eva-Karin in Sweden

We regret that we were unable to be present to support the Oppenheim and Robson families on this very sad day. A lovely young man gone to soon.
Love Linda and Peter.
It is with a profound sadness that I wish to convey my deep condolences at your loss of Declan. It pains me to think that I have never met Declan in person but watching the service brought memories of my childhood when as a very young new arrival in the country I was fully welcomed as a member of the Oppenheim family.
Gerald and later Rae became my Australian siblings, it seems this spirit of thoughtfulness, kindness and compassion for others has passed on through the generations to your Declan.
I was very moved by the service and feel your pain.
A beautiful celebration of Declan’s life. Thank you Jane and Alan for allowing us to take part.
Alan and Jane,
I am so sorry for your loss.

Truly a loved person by all who knew him.
I remember meeting Declan for probably the second time in Croatia. After nearly a 40 hour flight and about to board a bus to Split, a flash goes off, he had taken my photo. I begged him not to publish it anywhere. He just replied ever so politely where he would publish it, (cheeky bugger)
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Years pass- memories flood back. Watching David was like watching Gerald circa 1973 (without the Dresden accent). Alan you are a combination of Gerald and Rae; viva Ego Pharmaceuticals (it never was “a dirty word”). Declan’s love of great coffee and disdain of everything Murdoch sit so well with my sensibilities. As they say in Hebrew, “I wish you all a long life”. Vale a creative, handsome soul.
My thoughts and prayers are with you today and always. This was a beautiful service for a beautiful soul. May he now rest in peace.
A beautiful reflection of Declan’s life. He was loved by so many and will be sadly missed. Condolences to Jane, Alan & Charlotte. Fly high Declan.

Goodbye musketeer, thank you so very much for all the memories. Your fierce friendship and support, offbeat humour that would always catch me off guard and cause long laughing fits; and the endlessly entertaining debates and conversations we had both during our school years and whenever we would run into each other in the days after (we would always seem to easily pick up from the last time we left off) are all things that will continue to make me smile. Love and hugs.
My heartfelt condolences for Jane, Alan and rest of the family.

We were so deeply saddened by the passing of Declan Oppenheim. Our enduring memory of Declan is of an incredibly intelligent, insightful, caring and thoroughly lovely young man. His extraordinary talent for film-making was evident from a young age and we will always cherish the photographs and videos he made while at Wesley College. May he rest in peace. Our heartfelt thoughts are extended to his parents, Jane and Alan, and his sister Charlotte.
