Help Katie support her family after losing her beloved soulmate Jonathon, a dedicated father to their four young children.

On 18th April Jonathon Stroud suffered a critical heart attack during the night. Despite courageous efforts from Katie and the ambulance crew doing their utmost, they were unable to save Jon. He was 2 weeks away from his 41st birthday.

The entire whanau have been left reeling after losing this amazing man with no warning.

After losing his own wonderful father, Alan Stroud, to cancer, Jonathon worked relentlessly to build up his own business as a coach. His hard work culminated in setting up a world-class personal training studio in Mana. Jonathon wanted only the best for his clients and never stopped creating and learning to hone his skills and knowledge to inspire others to be the best version of themselves.

Jonathon was a humble man who shrugged off compliments, but was proud of his business, and even more proud of his four children and their love of sport. He was heavily involved in coaching rugby and league and he was his children's biggest fan. They will all miss him deeply forever. Stellar (10), Jaxon (8), Marhsall (7) Issy (4).
