Adrian Paki Rurawhe

It is with deep sadness that the whānau of Adrian Paki Rurawhe announce his peaceful passing at 2.15am this morning.

Adrian passed peacefully surrounded by love, with his whānau close by.

We are incredibly grateful for the many messages, prayers, thoughts and expressions of aroha that have been shared with Adrian and our whānau during this time.

Adrian will lay in state at Whangaehu Marae before being laid to rest at Ngā Puketuurua, Ratana Pā.

Further details regarding the tangihanga, including times and arrangements, will be announced shortly.

We ask that our whānau be given some time and space as we come together to grieve, remember and celebrate Adrian’s life.

Haere ki te torona o Ihoa o ngā mano.
