Memorial for Helicopter Pilot Glen Conning's Family

Nelson / Tasman

In the wake of devastating loss, Glen Conning's life was tragically taken on Monday 5 August 2024 in Papua, Indonesia. Leea and Kaley, his beloved children and his wife Natasha, now find themselves navigating a world without their Dad and husband.

In honour of Glen's memory, we humbly ask for your generosity to support Glen's girls to help them now and into the future. The "Give a Little for Glen and his girls" 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 the family after the loss of Glen.

Glen was a valued and experienced South Island helicopter pilot, and a community man. When the Port Hills fires happened, Glen jumped in to help. He was a great friend to many and his infectious smile and his wild sense of humour will be hugely missed.

Let us come together as a community, to support his family and honour Glen's memory as his love for his family and community, friendship and generosity knew no bounds.

For one gutless & senseless moment a helicopter pilots life was taken out. Shame on those concerned who obviously put no value on a human's life. I have been watching & reading the various comments towards Glens Givealittle page. Obviously a remarkable man who was highly respected & very much loved my so many. Our sincerest condolences to Glen's family & friends Sean & Beverley Ex PNG

Kiwi men don’t cry……often. But every one of Glens mates, (old and new )that I spoke to about him, readily admitted to crying when we heard the news. He was a special man. You’re lucky to have had him as your dad and husband Leea, Kaley, Tash.
