Mr Horn had owned and operated the store on National Park Road for more than 30 years and dedicated his life to the business, working seven days a week.
The Nambour store provided hay, animal feed and produce supplies to hundreds of customers every week — an essential service for many who have been hand-feeding livestock and animals for months during recent dry conditions. On Sunday, February 3, the 63-year-old was working on the roof of a shed at the business when it gave way, causing him to fall around six metres and is believed to have been killed instantly.Mr Horn's brother-in-law Trevor Raymond drove straight to the Sunshine Coast from Yeppoon after hearing the devastating news.
It has been a difficult time for the family, not only dealing with Mr Horn's death, but also working out how his business operated because Mr Horn was the only employee.Mr Raymond said his brother-in-law had never married and was committed to running the store. "Matter of fact, if he did get married he wouldn't have made it to his own wedding … he would have been at the shop," he joked.
