■ Yarra Ranges Shire Mayor Cr Jim Child last week paid tribute to Warburton’s Jigsaw Jumps founder Sam Knight. “The Upper Yarra community are completely devastated and heartbroken to have received the news that Jigsaw Jumps founder and passionate supporter of the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination Sam Knight passed away. “Sam, 43, was a much loved father, partner, son, brother, uncle and friend and an inspiration to so many. “Starting up his now nation known business JigSaw Jumps in the small business incubator Yarra Ranges Enterprise Centres Ltd in Warburton and to use the words of Alison Fitzgerald, YREC Executive Officer “ Sam Knight was an inventor, an innovator, and an entrepreneur. “Sam chose to move to Warburton to start and grow his dream business and provide a better environment to raise a family. “As Sam developed relationships and gained respect and loyalty, he identified opportunities to not just promote his product but provide experiences in the form of events especially for kids, councils, scout groups and schools. He would share the sheer joy of these events with his colleagues in the YREC village – with an infectious smile and in his humble way. It wasn’t just the kids having fun, Sam always had fun too. Sam leaves behind his partner Vicky and their young daughter Hazel.”
