Sudden passing of Layne.

Auckland

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Layne devoted father, son, brother, uncle, nephew and friend. His loss has left a void that words can’t fill, and now, as we navigate the heartbreak, I’m asking for help to support his family with some

extra costs,and to buy rings for the kids to match the rings Layne wore.

Unfortunately the Black dog got the better of a good man! Stupid black Dog!!

Many of us knew a different version of Layne, some the man of few words, some the sick sense of humour, and to others a loving and affectionate man/dad.

Any amount, no matter how small, makes a difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign is just as powerful.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this time. Layne will never be forgotten, and with your help, his memory and dreams will live on through his children.
