No words can express the feeling of you going to your next life. My memory I will never forget will be when you use to tell me every time you saw me of how much you loved me even up until the last time we spoke which was not long ago. I will miss you forever and my heart goes out to all the family as I no how much they all love you. One day we will be back together until then fly high with Uncle Drew with the angles my darling Courtney. Never forgotten RIP

Dear Sandy, Ross ,Taylor, Alex , Shirley& Kevin ,also the Clapham Family ,Aunties ,Uncles & Cousins it is with deep sadness & disbelief I learnt of the sudden passing of your dedicated,talented,courteous & loving Courtney who has passed away in his prime.He will always be remembered as such a mature & gifted growing boy who was seen as a wonderful role model in his formative years at North Clyde School ...he had charisma & was held in greatest respect by all the staff & fellow schoolmates. Im sure theyll all be shocked by your loss..I recall in 1992 he accompanied me to a Wairoa Rotary Evening function dressed in his best ...long trou,shirt & tie with suit jacket at 7 yrs age going on 20...he went around the entire attendees ...most middle aged & elderly business & professional members from the District ...He introduced himself like a grown man ,shook hands & conversed with them socially ..all were so impressed with this confident "young man" he was soundly applauded by all when he without hesitation addressed the meeting when invited to speak if he wished...A wonderful ambitious student with a wonderful future ahead....the world deserves more of Courtneys ilk ...So sad for his own little family also SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO YOU ALL DEEPEST SYMPATHY DENYS & TRICIA CAVES & FAMILY .

To hear a former work mate passed away, I have no words to express. CJ was awesome and got along with everyone. Deepest and sincere condolences to CJ's family. X
