Vale Deadly Vibe Founder Gavin Jones
On 12 July, 2014, Gavin Jones, managing director of Deadly Vibe, passed away in his hometown of Goulburn, NSW.
Gavin was a respected and widely admired figure and leader of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. The company he founded in 1993, Deadly Vibe, forged new ground in its holistic approach to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander advancement through a series of successful projects including the Deadly Sounds radio program, Deadly Vibe magazine and The Deadly awards.
“With much respect, the staff of the CBAA and the Community Radio Network (CRN) join me in mourning the loss of Gavin Jones. As the founder of the Deadly Sounds radio program, the Deadly Awards and Vibe magazine, his passing is an immeasurable loss, not only to Australia’s indigenous community, but to the entire country. His many-faceted efforts have been essential in widening the Australian public’s knowledge and understanding of indigenous issues, and his work and legacy will be long remembered in the hearts of those that he touched.”
- Seth Jordan, CBAA/CRN Content Services Manager (national distributors, Deadly Sounds)
