Adrian was an important part of my life for some years. I will always remember his laugh, love of trains, HP sauce on everything, and questionable taste in tv shows. I was lost for words at hearing of his passing. My condolences to all his friends and family.

We will always remember your laugh and the joy that you brought us and Heidi. I will never forget the fun we had when you remembered the home grounds of every UK football club we could think of. So much fun. Our family gatherings will not be the same without you. We will miss you, but you will be in our memories forever. Beautiful service today. Peace and Love.

I am deeply saddened by his passing he touched my life in such a short amount of time I remember having early morning talks with him and one time him finding me passed out on the dogs bed at 5am after a big night and us having a good laugh over it He lived with us shortly after his diagnosis when they came to Australia His calmness was always welcomed in our house and even though I don’t think I could show it I had a great fondness for him thank you for the short amount of Time I had with you mate rest in peace

Sad to hear of Adrian's passing. The three Mike's and Adrian got up to all sorts at Aotea College, and later the two Mikes, Steve and Adrian at Victoria University. Never had a full stomach but always up for a challenge. Glad to hear you found your love and peace.

We will really miss you Adrian. We are the lucky ones to have been able to be with part of the fun and adventures of the life of Heidi and Adrian and families. No stones left unturned and no roads not explored. Absolutely always enjoyed your company and always willing to lend a hand. Ice creams flowing and fun dinner dates.. we had so much fun unloading containers together - and you showed off your super power strength . Thank you for taking care of Heidi always and I know you will always watch over her and everyone . Till we meet again. Lots of love always xox Majbrit, Paolo and families xxx

We have so many happy memories of times spent with Adrian. In the early days, motorcycling, then later cycling and 4 wheel driving, and always with a sense of exploration (and real paper maps!) Aside from the adventures, there was Red wine, Kraftwerk and lots of laughs. We were thrilled and honoured to be with Adrian and Heidi on their wedding day and glad to have spent time with them again recently. We will miss him dearly and remember him fondly. Love to Heidi and the Sanders family Caroline and Andrew

So many years and so many memories. Driving Barbi's car to Porirua in free periods from Aotea college, weekends of D&D and snorkelling after work in Titahi Bay. Sitting in McDonalds in Wellington listening to Simple Minds and Iron Maiden on our walkmen - one headphone ear each - drinking home brew and watching Perth Glory play. The big trip we did across Australia when you relocated to Melbourne from Perth and going to see Porcupine Tree and Dweezil Zappa play in Melbourne. And later attending your wedding to Heidi and starting to make music together after that drive across Victoria. So many memories and so many good times. I will miss you so much. Love to Heidi and Adrian's family especially his brothers Alex and Ed, Mike M

We’re going to miss our much-loved brother-in-law, Adrian. We’re so grateful for all the happy memories of family gatherings in Mount Eliza, with lots of laughs and reminiscing about Kraftwerk and Devo. It won’t be the same without you. Our deepest sympathies and love to Heidi and Adrian’s family. Manu and Sophie

Shared some great times together in the 90s, you were a true friend and were always there for me if I needed a wingman.
