The funeral for Maroochy-Northshore Roos stalwart Neil Upton will be held from noon at the Maroochydore Baptist Church, at the end of Wises Road, on Monday.
Upton, who held every official position at some point during his 35-year association with the club, lost his long battle with cancer on Tuesday.
The 82-year-old was one of the inaugural inductees in the Sunshine Coast AFL Hall of Fame in late June. As a further honour, he was one of eight Hall of Fame members to be bestowed with “Legend” status.
After his funeral on Monday, there will be a gathering to remember Upton at Maroochy Northshore Football Club, Fishermans Road, Maroochydore.
The main ground at the complex was christened Neil Upton Oval in May this year as a token of recognition for his tireless service to the club.
