Arthur BLACK Obituary

Sincerest condolences to all. From Lynne at Diabetes Christchurch Inc.

Heartfelt Condolences Cathy to you and all your family as you all gather to bid Adieu to your beloved Bryden.
You are very much in my heart and prayers.Brenda

Bryden Black has been a friend and conversation partner for several years. His laugh, insight, and friendship are legendary. I will miss him and his pressing for more life and gifts to pass on to others. Bless you my friend...

Sincere condolences, our love, and many prayers for the happy repose of the soul of this good Christian man.

With love to Cathy and the family. Bryden was a much respected and loved teacher and friend. Happy Ridley days and yabbie catching.

We are so sorry to hear this sad news about Bryden. I have lovely memories of Bryden when we met him at Anna-Marie & Michael's wedding. What a wonderful man! Our prayers and thoughts are with all of the Black family. We wish you love & strength. May he rest in peace. Cuala McGann & Olivier Bauduin

Please accept my deepest condolences upon Bryden's passing. I hope the Lord was near in his final days.

I was stunned and saddened to hear the news. I didn't know that Bryden's health had deteriorated so rapidly.

Bryden supported many of us, in lots of different ways: as a teacher, mentor, leader, and friend. Bryden stood for the trinitarian God, but also for the trinity of truth, beauty and goodness.

Bryden also believed in us, the coming generation, and in resourcing us to protect what is true, beautiful and good. We will carry on his legacy.

I'll always be grateful that Bryden supported me financially during my PhD studies.

I'll miss his intellect, sharp wit, frankness, and mischievous sense of humour.

I can only imagine the loving and forthright conversations that Bryden is having with the Lord right now.

I hope I can travel from Wellington to Bryden's funeral on 6 June to pay my last respects.

As Bryden would say, 'Shalom!'

God bless

Dr. Steve Thomas
