27 March 1968 – 7 June 2026

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Colin.

Beloved son of Neil and Lorraine. Cherished brother of Alex. Devoted partner of Lennell. A loving and proud father to Xavier, Kiah, Kash, and Shontayne.

Colin’s greatest joy was his family. He will be remembered for his love, loyalty, strength and the many memories he leaves behind with those who knew and loved him.

Colin is currently lying at home, 1578 State Highway 2 Wairoa (Waihua), where everyone is welcome to come and pay their respects at any time. Poroporoaki is at 5pm tonight.

Colin’s funeral service will be held at 9.00am on Friday 12th June at The Church of Latter-Day Saints Chapel, 45 Clyde Road Wairoa, followed by his journey to Gisborne for cremation.

Forever loved, forever remembered.

My whānau and I are deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of Colin. 😢

Colin was always incredibly kind to me and my whānau, especially to my son, Mark. 😊

We have many beautiful memories of Colin that we will cherish forever. He was a kind, funny, charismatic, and intelligent man who brought warmth, laughter, and joy wherever he went. 🥰

One of the things I will miss most is our conversations. Colin had a brilliant mind, and what would often start as a simple chat would quickly turn into a lively debate. I always enjoyed those discussions, hearing his perspective, sharing ideas, and having a good laugh along the way. He had a way of making every conversation interesting and memorable.

Colin will be deeply missed by the many people whose lives he touched. Our thoughts and aroha are with all who loved him.

Moe mai rā, Colin. ❤️
