Lesley Brooks - tragic loss of life.

Milson, Palmerston North

In Loving Memory of Lesley Brooks

On December 7th, we lost someone truly irreplaceable. Lesley Brooks tragically lost her life, leaving behind her loving husband, Mike, and their three beautiful daughters. This devastating loss has left a hole in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved her.

The Road Pirates Manawatu are coming together to raise funds to ease the heavy burden on Mike and his daughters during this unimaginably difficult time. Every dollar raised will go directly to a verified bank account in Michael Brooks’ name, ensuring it provides the support they need as they navigate this loss.

A Tribute to Lesley:

Our lives go on without you,

But nothing is the same.

We have to hide our heartache

When someone speaks your name.

Sad are the hearts that love you,

Silent are the tears that fall.

Living without you is the

Hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us,

Your heart was so kind and true.

And when we needed someone,

We could always count on you.

The special years will not return,

When we were all together.

But with the love in our hearts,

You’ll ride with us forever.

Lesley was a light in so many lives, and her memory will forever be cherished by her family, friends, and the Road Pirates community. Thank you for your generosity, love, and support as we honor her life and help her family through this heartbreaking time.

Thank you Michael B for your Platform interview and thank you Michael L for your highly professional approach to such a sad and revealing story. A very good book called “Solve for Happy” by Mo Gawdat may be helpful in allowing your loss to become a focus for change as many of us know that the NZ legal system is broken, it no longer functions for victims of crime.

Hi Michael. I remember you from Heretaunga College. So sorry to hear of your loss. I recently lost my wife to cancer and I also have teenagers that I need to navigate through life without their Mum. Stay close to them, you all need each other more than ever.
