SAD news – we’ve lost another Legend of the Nepean this week. RIP David Trist OAM, who has sadly passed away a few weeks before his 100th birthday. 

At Nepean News we were lucky enough to know David over the years, covering many news stories, wedding and birthday milestones and of course, detailing why he was a Legend of the Nepean.  David was always a pleasure to talk to; he was an absolute gentleman and, may I add, as sharp as a whip for someone approaching 100. See next week’s print edition to read more about David’s life. 

Our condolences to his family and friends.

Funeral details for David Trist’s farewell are:  

1030hrs, Tuesday 5th August 2025
St Mary Magdalene’s Anglican Church hall
299-311 Great Western Hwy, St Marys

RIP David Trist OAM
