Please help Big Will' family to obtain the video intended to be played at his funeral with messages to his family.
Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui
On Tuesday 19th April the man we know and love as Will Cottle, aka ''Big Will' passed away at PNth Hospital.
Will was larger than life and known for many things - in his younger days he was a circus performer with a world record for the bed of nails. He connected with people as a counselor and he also did many of his hilarious hypnotist shows, fundraising for local groups and non-profit organizations around the region. A true performer, he also gave many years of service as a Santa Claus to local kindys and events.
Will suffered from some big health issues and had set plans in place for his funeral arrangements. However, his passing came before these costs were sorted. His family did an amazing job pulling together a fitting send off with family and friends gathered together, but there was just one thing missing... ❤🎥 Will created a special video that he wanted played at his funeral, including personal messages for his children left behind. I visited him the week this was made and he was so excited about being able to do this final performance, one last hurrah you might say. The video is being held by an alternate funeral provider who refuses to release it until full payment for the video and a plaque for his casket are covered. This page is to fundraise the $805(+$45 due to 5% Give-A-Little fee) requested by the funeral director so that Will's family and friends can see his special message and hear his voice one last time.👋
Family friend to Will and his children for over 15 years.
The full amount will be used to pay the invoice outstanding with the funeral provider so the director will then release the file to his daughter (Larissa).
