Exploding crane tyre took his life instantly; he deserves a beautiful farewell

Christchurch, Canterbury

Brian was a young man dedicated and devoted to his job. He would talk about his work day in day out to anyone that would listen, the passion in his voice was admirable. Sadly, on Friday he didn’t make it home. Brian was changing a crane tyre as he does most days for well over a decade, and it exploded killing him instantly.

He was a loved father, son, brother, uncle, cousin & work colleague. He has left us to do this thing called life without him, and joined his mum in heaven who recently grew her wings too. Unfortunately the family is unable to cover the costs of his funeral, any donations to ensure Brian is send off this earth in an environment filled of love, we would be forever grateful. We are desperate to give him the send off & farewell he deserves, surrounded by his friends and family.
