Raise funds to help the family

This morning one of the kindest, giving families lost one of the most important people in their life, their father, husband and grand father. In the early hours this morning heaven gained another angel when Ivan Leis passed away at 53 years old leaving behind a beautiful wife Tracy , two amazing children Chloe and Tim and a 6 year old grandson Hoani. 19 years ago his wife Tracy donated Ivan a kidney which saved his life and serves as a reminder of the bond they had and how kind hearted this family are. Ivan had battled the last few years with heart problems having open heart surgery 3 years ago and suffering another heart attack only a week ago. Through the battles Ivan faced he never lost his cheeky spirit, lust for life and love and support for the many that called him family. Ivan was actively involved in youth league coaching his grandson, he worked with the mentally challenged and devoted his time to helping others, Ivan was the first person to offer his help often putting his own problems aside. Although there is no words or magic cure to ease the pain I have started this page to help raise funds to relieve some of the stress for the family as they try to move forward.
