To helping the family to establish the "Brendon Bourne Memorial Scholarship for Aviation."

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

In the wake of a devastating loss, Brendon Bourne, was tragically taken from us in a sudden car accident. Jakob and Michaila, the beloved children of Brendon, now find themselves navigating a world without their Dad

In honour of Brendon's memory, we humbly ask for your generosity. The "Give a Little for Brendon" initiative seeks to help his grieving family with expenses at this difficult time. Your donation, no matter the size, can make a difference in helping them after the loss of Brendon.

In a lasting legacy to Brendon's aviation passion. The Family will be dedicated to establishing the "Brendon Bourne Memorial Scholarship for Aviation." This scholarship will be for aspiring pilots to help them establish their flight training. Brendon was a valued flight instructor and a champion for capability, professionalism, safety and so supportive of every pilot at every experience level. Further details of the scholarship will follow once details are confirmed.

Baypark Speedway was also his happy place, Brendon wasn’t just a part of the track-prep team, he was also the go-to weatherman with his valuable knowledge from his day-to-day role in the aviation industry. He was a great friend to many and his infectious smile and wild sense of humour will be greatly missed.

Let us come together as a community, to support his family and honour the memory of a man who’s spirit knew no bounds.

Brendon was my instructor rating examiner over a decade ago, and now I command a wide body jet. It was always my intention to one day return to NZ and catch up with you. You recognised my ability then and provided me the confidence I needed to go forward and for that you will always be remembered as a good man who help shaped my aviation life. Rest in peace.
