Andrew Lyon, Bannockburn MICA Paramedic, Reportedly Dies as Community Remembers His Service

Andrew Lyon, a Bannockburn-based Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance paramedic, is being remembered following reports of his death.

Lyon worked with Ambulance Victoria as a MICA paramedic, providing advanced emergency care to patients facing serious and life-threatening medical situations. His professional role placed him at the frontline of emergency response across Victoria.

One documented example of Lyon’s work involved a medical emergency involving Bannockburn mother Alannah Lees. Lyon and fellow paramedic Nicholas Buller responded within minutes after Lees experienced a sudden placental abruption while 32 weeks pregnant.

The paramedics transported Lees to Geelong University Hospital, where medical staff performed an emergency caesarean section. Her baby, Archer “Archie” Lees, was born and later spent several weeks receiving neonatal care before returning home.

The family later reunited with Lyon and Buller to express their gratitude for the emergency care they provided. Ambulance Victoria shared the reunion as an example of the lasting connection emergency responders sometimes develop with families whose lives they have helped during critical situations.

Reports surrounding Lyon’s passing describe it as sudden. Some reports identify him as 42 years old and say he leaves behind a wife and three young children, although these personal details have not been independently confirmed through an official obituary or statement from Ambulance Victoria.

The cause of Lyon’s reported death has not been publicly established by an authoritative source. Claims about an illness, accident or other specific cause should therefore be treated cautiously until confirmed by his family, Ambulance Victoria or another reliable authority.

For colleagues and members of the Bannockburn community, Lyon is being remembered primarily through his work caring for people during medical emergencies. His documented response to the Lees family is one example of the direct impact his paramedic career had on patients and their loved ones.

Further information about funeral arrangements, memorial services and the circumstances surrounding Lyon’s death has not been confirmed in the reliable sources reviewed.

As friends, colleagues and community members mourn, Andrew Lyon’s professional legacy remains connected to emergency medical service and the patients he helped during some of their most difficult moments.
