The son of former Hunter MP and Minister for Defence Joel Fitzgibbon tragically died during a parachuting incident as part of a military training exercise on March 6.

Among the hundreds of mourners who attended the service were Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce.
