Help bring Percy Estrop Jnr home to NZ and be laid to rest.

My name is Jacqui and here is our story.

On the 8th of July 2016, we lost our Uncle in Australia, Percy Estrop Snr. A loving father/husband/pop who brought joy and happiness to the lives of those who were dearest to him. After a service held in Australia, the family returned home to NZ and lay him to rest in Pipiwai, Northland.

Barely 6 weeks on, the family still mourning his passing, On Sunday, (21 August 2016) we receive the sad news that our much loved cousin Percy Estrop Jnr has passed away, his son. His life tragically taken suddenly and way too soon. At just 35 years old, he had a whole life time ahead of him. Raising 2 beautiful children, doing what he loved doing, fast cars and playing poker. Fighting a battle of full-time Dialysis, he who fought so hard to cope with what life had to throw at him..... With strong family support and his children to keep him going when he wanted to stop, he was determined get on with life, no matter how tough it was. My cousin was dealt a raw deal, it's devastating that his life has been taken from him.

It's tragedy enough to lose 1 family member, but to lose 2 family members in such a short time is so much more emotional heartache any family should have to endure.

To relieve some of the financial burden of returning our loved one home from Australia I know, would be hugely appreciated by his whanau.

My aroha goes out to his Mother Eileen (nee Armstrong), sisters Priscilla, Michelle, Yvette, Natasha and his 2 children Kazaia and Percy Jnr during this sad time.

Thank you for your time and appreciate any kind of support you can give.
