Hi, I’m Dylan. Anselm’s nephew.
The first memory I had of my uncle was when I was around 5 years old. At the time I only knew him as the kurdaitcha man, as my family would only refer to him as that. He was quite intimidating at first, he was tall, had long scraggy hair tied in a pony tail with a thick moustache, he was also very loud spoken. But I eventually warmed up to him, and spent some time together during his visits to Geelong.
I remember this time; I would have been around 7 years old; he would talk about this really good fishing spot where he would catch fish all the time and that he will take me to fish there. After me constantly asking him to take me, he finally did, we arrived, got out the car, grabbed the rods and gear walked over to the bridge and I said to my uncle “how can we fish here when there’s no water” to his shock and horror, it had dried up.
We would also go on trips to the Geelong tip and look for anything that may be valuable. Anything from bike parts, electronics and car parts. I remember the first time he took me, I said to him “isn’t this all just rubbish uncle Anselm, he replied “all these things here could be useful one day” if you looked in his backyard, the man liked to collect things.
He was very quick witted, and had a nickname for everyone and a theme song to go with it. He would always call me jamindar, which has stuck with me. Although he wasn’t around much, as he spent most of his time in Adelaide, I loved him dearly, He would always tell me “Uncle loves his nieces and nephews, I will always be here for you”.
Even at his sickest he would make light of situations and goof around. He was quite famous in Baxter wing 6 at Geelong hospital, he knew all the nurses of course and constantly tried to set me up with them.
I will miss you uncle; may you rest in peace.

My brother you became apart of my life in 27 years ago. I remember the first time I meet you bro.

That last video call you made I didn't realise that it was your last.

Going to miss your calls and messages my brother

Rest in peace no more pain
Your Yakka(Big Sister) Marilyn

Someone so special can never be forgotten ...
Rest in peace Anselm

Offering my sincere heart felt condolences to the Macbryde family in this sad time . I wish I could have been there today in person but unfortunately is not the case.

I first met Anselm about 25 years ago when he was working on his car at the servo. I had issues with my own car at the same time and he stopped what he was doing to help me with mine . He was a good man. Life took over as it does and I hadn’t seen him in years, spoke over Facebook few times but to get the message from Adrian that he had passed really hit home. Going though my own personal life battles it has been a reminder of how precious time is…

RIP brother … see you on the other side ☮️

EARLY YEARS IN AUSTRALIA
- On the farm with David & Barbara & family.

We will always remember that big smile that drew people in and lifted their spirits. You couldn't help but smile with him. He was humble, genuine, and full of life, and he would be remembered with love by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

I love you brother boy, my fellow curry muncher. God has blessed me to know a real man like you. I am for ever greatfull for our friendship and will cherish my memories for the rest of my life. Peace to you beautiful man and I pray through Jesus Chist alone I see you again.
Rest in peace.
Your mate Joshua xx.

I have lovely memories of exploring down in the bush with our 3 cheeky cousins at Boonah. Here we all are building a tankstand!
Anselm will be deeply missed. Sending my heartfelt condolences to the whole family. ❤

My uncle was one of the strongest people I know. When we were little, he always brought us so much joy! Every time he came home, he would bring us little gifts. He was such a great listener and was always there for my two older brothers and me. Uncle was amazing in so many ways, and I’m so proud to call him my uncle. He treated us like his own children, and I always knew how much he loved us.
He was incredibly lucky to have such a beautiful wife by his side for the last nine years of his life. She brought so much happiness to him, along with their two little boys, who he loved dearly. Those boys meant the world to him, and they always will.
Though my uncle may not be with us in the present, I know he'll always be with each and every one of us, watching over us and keeping a piece of himself in all our hearts. No matter where you are now, Uncle, I’ll always cherish the good memories we shared.
When I was younger, Uncle Anselm told me a story about when he was in Adelaide and had a Shetland pony. It bit him, but he asked if I wanted one! I was so excited, and even to this day, I’m still waiting for my Shetland pony. Uncle, you better have one waiting for me up there – along with a couple of whiskeys!

Dear Macbryde family, my thoughts are with you all.
I will always hold memories of you dear to my heart.
A wonderful man taken to soon and will be missed greatly ❤️
