One of the greats you were Jintae. Striking fear into the hearts of opposition wingers since 2015. Too fast for us all…..

Loved our family Christmas gatherings, watching you grow. You were always the energetic one full on, and had no fear. For the years that I knew you, you were a breath of sunshine and endless energy. Credit to your parents at the time Krystal and Jason. I’m sad that you didn’t feel like you didn’t fit into society, you definitely fitted into our family with your crazy cousins. You were a big part of our family and even though we didn’t see you for your remaining 8 years which was sad, you will be missed deeply., rere teitei e kore e warewaretia.

Jontae, you were the spirit and life us boys needed. No wonder you were so up and far ahead of us in life! because you cared from the get-go. Gone way too soon, never, ever forgotten g. Thank you for being apart of the journey. Alan.

Jontae, I met you once at my wonderful cousin Victoria's 21st and had seen how just how happy you made her through her posts. I've always thought of myself as a good judge of character, who can easily sense who someone is upon first meeting them. So when I could feel how genuine you were, your kindness, love, adoration for Victoria, I felt instant relief knowing she had someone so sincere to make her happy, to look after her and protect her after she moved. We've been close ever since we were little so naturally I was anxious for her, wondering often if she had made herself a home and if she was ever lonely being so far from family. But you Jontae, brought instant calm to my worries after meeting you that night and seeing first hand how happy you both were. Truly the life and light of a party, and I wish I could have known more of you. It goes without saying because everyone made it well known I'm sure, but you are so loved and forever will be. To Jontae's family, thank you for giving Victoria the brightest smile though Jontae and through your love & support, I've never seen her glow so brightly. Thank you and bless you

Dear Jontea, i never got to meet your beautifull soul, but you made a huge impact on Karlise. Thank you for being the big brother for Karlise, she was so proud of you Jontea! Rest in peace you beautifull person. Love Nina From The Netherlands

I sadly never got to meet the young man you became Jontae, but i will never forget the beautiful baby that made my friend a mother. You made such a profound impact on us and it seemed you continue to do this as you grew up. “Though your smile has gone forever and your hands we can no longer touch, we will always have sweet memories of you, we loved so much”

I can’t say much as I’m not one for words, and I’ve lived on the other side of the world for all of your life Jontae, but when I was back in New Zealand for that first time meeting you, you were only 16 days old. From that moment, you grabbed my heart and held onto it. I have been the most proud uncle telling everybody who would listen that my nephew was a champion motorcycle rider at aged five. Watching you growing up with all your trials from the other side of the world, then one day I was back and I picked you up from a skate park and ……I never even recognised you as you had grown into such a lovely young man as much as any teenager can be. I have watched you from the farthest distance and am so proud of what you have accomplished. I will very much miss being able to introduce you to your youngest cousins who have a lot to live up to .. I will love you always, Uncle Mat

No farewell words were spoken, there was no time to say goodbye. You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. All our heartfelt love to family from all of us in Australia Prayers will be continued to keep you in Gods covering and Love for days ahead Bless you all and celebrate your beautiful Jontae
