Honoring Jay’s legacy—help support his partner Élodie and their daughter Julia as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.
Warkworth, Auckland
Kia Ora whānau,
On January 4th, we lost a truly special soul. Jay was more than a skilled builder, a problem-solver, and a generous giver—he was a beloved partner, a devoted father, and a guiding light in our community. Whether you met him at EBF or NZ Spirit, you likely saw his hands and heart at work—repairing, creating, and sharing his sacred knowledge to help us all.
Jay’s sudden passing has left a deep void, especially for Élodie and their beautiful daughter, Julia. As they navigate this heartbreaking loss, we have the opportunity to give back to the man who gave so much.
This Givealittle page is a way to support his family during this time, easing the burden of immediate costs and helping secure a future for Julia. If Jay ever lent you a hand, inspired you with his wisdom, or simply made your world a little better, please consider donating—any contribution, big or small, will make a difference.
Let’s come together as a community, as Jay always did for us.
With love and gratitude,
Jay was a dear friend, mentor, and colleague to me. It was an honor to witness the deep love he had for Élodie and their daughter.
The funds will help Élodie and Julia with rent, food, clothing, school costs, and bills. It will also support Élodie in building a business and covering single-mother expenses like childcare and transport during this difficult time.
