Missing Diver - Seddon (Chucky) Jane

$6,147 donated
Given by 69 generous donors in 4 weeks

Seddon (Chucky) went missing while diving at Damons Bay, Akaroa in Christchurch on Labour Weekend.

Hawke's Bay

Seddon is a dearly loved father and brother. He has 2 young children. He is also a very experienced hunter, diver and horse whisperer.

As a much loved member of the Jane Family, we continue the search for Seddon. We need to find him so we can bring him home.

All funds raised will be used to continue the search for Chucky. Some of the search related costs so far include flights to the South Island, oxygen tanks for the divers, fuel for the boats, accommodation and kai for the searchers.

We send grateful thanks for your support. Please feel free to share our page with your networks.

We invite all who see our page to keep Chucky close in your thoughts and prayers as the search continues to bring him home.

Overwhelming Love and Support  9 November 2016

Dear Friends, Whanau and Loved Ones

We write to thank you all for your financial, emotional and physical support throughout the past 2 weeks while we searched for our loved brother in Akaroa.

Your support enabled us to continue searching after the official SAR/Police Search was suspended.

Sadly the sea conditions were not on our side, and we had to return home without our loved one.

We learned that it is a very dangerous place to dive. This was one of the reasons we had to suspend our search, because our own divers were risking themselves to try and help us find Chucky.

We still have faith that Chucky will return to us in his own time. Until then we are so grateful for the love and support of so many friends and family around the world.

We are now closing this page.

All our love

The Jane Family
