SAD PASSING OF KERRY LATTER

It is with deep sadness that we advise of the passing of CANEGROWERS Mackay CEO Kerry Latter on Sunday 18 June, following a short and intense battle with cancer.

CANEGROWERS Chairman Owen Menkens said the industry and Mackay growers in particular lost a true champion with the passing of Mr Latter.

“Kerry was an integral member of the CANEGROWERS family for 15 years and continued to fight for growers right until the very end.

“Over the years he played a pivotal role in the development of many key industry policies, not just at district level in Mackay, but at state level also.

“He was a fierce advocate for growers and the industry, and had the knowledge, political adeptness, and the connections to make a positive impact on behalf of his members and the community.

“He will be sadly missed by growers and his colleagues in the CANEGROWERS community. On behalf of the entire industry, I offer my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.”
