22.07.1965 - 23.11.2024
It is with great sadness that the immediate family announce the passing of Simon.
A man whose strength of character, loyalty to family, integrity, wisdom, kindness and courage will be deeply missed.
He was also a man with an enormous soft disposition, in so many instances, making it his concern to help others without hesitation.
An extraordinary life lived, his trade of Carpentry as he began his working life, later then working with his father John, both as Builders opened many vistas and opportunities to meet new, if not many lifelong friends.
Simon is survived by his immediate family, brother Craig, son Harrison, and Simon’s larger family of, Claudia, Tanya, Tanya, Stuart, Stacey, Leah, Josh, Jessica, Zane, Oskar, Tessa, Olivia, Amy, Ava, Tanya, Caroline & Chloe
The family also acknowledges the extensive group of close friends and colleagues that have supported, and stood by him, both in times of struggle and joy, he drew much strength from these friendships.
Now, his beautiful spirit is with his Mum & Dad (both dec) whom he deeply loved, all surrounded in Gods care.
We wish him calm seas for his eternal journey.
