John COLLINS Obituary

John died very suddenly, at home, on Monday, January 20, 2025. A best friend and beloved husband to Susan, a much loved father and father-in-law to Kirsti and Keith, Sally and Jim, Shaun, and Brett and Yvonne, and a treasured Magic to Alex, Max, Thomas and Lucas (our wee star), he will be greatly missed. John was also a loved brother and brother- in-law to Susan, Brian and Anita, Barbara and Alastair, Dennis and Pam, Linda and Chris, Christine and Ken. Please join us on Thursday, February 6, at Moutere Hills Community Centre from 2.00 to 4.00pm for a celebration of his life (and to repeat a few of John's stories). In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Motueka St Vincent de Paul.
