Hi dad , Well the roar is officially over in nz. Gosh I knew you would’ve thrived with me this year , my first ever time too. And if you must know dad no I didn’t walk and stalk anything 🤣 f that I’m too much of a lazy hunter haha. I’m too use to shooting things on the road side or it jumping out in front of my Ute ! Cause I’m a tinass like that 🤪. I did in fact get you a nice 12 pointer stag dad. He was a mammoth to try and lift ! Jesus Christ he was a big boy ! I definitely could’ve done with you that night because he was a horse ! Man oh man. But I just hope you know I’m still hunting hard for you and catching all the deer I can I know how much you love your deer. I love you dad I miss you endlessly but here’s to you ! It’s was all for you.

Hi Dad , I miss you so much. I hope You’re safe and doing okay. Not a single day that goes by is any better than the day we laid you to rest. I hope wherever you are the skies are blue , the grass is green , the sun is shining warm rays on your handsome face. I hope you feel the wind and the smell of peace and freedom. I love you so much dad until the day I die. One day when it’s right I’ll be looking for you in the bush and we’ll crack a big 12 pointer together like we promised. Until then dad I’ll keep dropping stags and catching hooky boars just for you 🖤. Can’t guarantee I’ll stay out of trouble but I’ll try my absolute best dad haha I love you , forever and always my dad 🖤

You called me ugly I called you sasquatch you said at least I have my front teeth 😅 love u u big bugger.

Sending our love to you all at this sad time. Our memories of Wiari will stay with us till we meet him again. Sitting outside watching the storms roll in on that Christmas Day you spent with us, saying you have never seen storms like that before. Melting away while you were wearing a long sleeve shirt. Seeing how much he missed his family back in NZ. Wiari You were a true larrikan and the fun times we had driving trucks at Scuzztrans. Keep on trucking brother till we meet you in the highways of heaven. 🙏😢🫂❤️

Hey there Wiari, I didn't know you long but you are forever in my heart. Uncle Wazza and I cared very much for you. You are certainly missed. Rest in peace my friend.

Sending courage and aroha to you all at this heavy time. Only crack up memories of the bro always helping. May Jah pour his calmness and peace on you all as you navigate these times together. Nga Mihi Nui kia koutou. Deanna & Whanau x

Though I never knew you, I loved you as a cousin. So many sad things such as today my dear cousin. Look forward to getting to know you in the new world. Love to you Uncle Joshua and Marama and your family. We are thinking of you all on this sad day. Please remember Wiari is sleeping and no longer in any pain. We will be waiting to hear those words, "turn around" and we will see Wiari along with all our beautiful family that we have lost. All our love from Australia - Philip and Linda

We are still finding it hard to believe you are gone. So many good memories with you and your family. We will always be here for your family, now that you watch over them. Be at peace and we will see you again some day. Love you mate

We love you Wiari I will treasure the times we had together, often think of them and Crack up. When I was young, you helped me out a lot, never told you but I really appreciated them random pick up and talks One of my earliest memories I have with you was at your mums house on tuwharetoa st, I thought I was a boy so I challenged you to a wrestling match. You cracked up at me but entertained the idea. Long story short you smoked me and my black cousin (you called her) I got salty and found the biggest stick I could find for paybacks. Hit u on the back and the bloody thing broke. You just laughed at me and gave me the bearhug of doom plus heaps of shit for ages. Thank you for it all the good the bad and ugly. Rest easy now Wiari See you when I get there x
