Wilfred HEYWOOD Obituary

Passed away peacefully in Nelson on November 10, 2025, surrounded by loving family members, after a long and courageous battle. Dearly loved son of the late Wilf and Rose Heywood, and brother of the late Rose Rodman. Loving and devoted husband of Diane, cherished father of Craig, and Nicci, father-in-law of Rob, and mischievous Grandad "Crash" to Dylan, Jake, and Daniel.
Brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, and friend to many - he will be forever remembered for his expressive nature, lifelong sense of humour, and immense generosity. A small private service was held on November 14, and Bill's wish to be scattered to the four winds will be honoured at a later date.
