Given by 30 generous donors in 4 weeks

This page is to help support Katie in this difficult time to cover funeral costs and day to day expenses.

Dunedin, Otago

Katie’s day started off as any other day did kissing her loving husband Lewis goodbye as he headed off to work.

Unknowingly to Katie this treasured memory would be there final moments.

Lewis headed off to work like any other day heading to a job that he really enjoyed he was an extremely hard worker.

Unfortunately whilst heading to work at 7:20am on the 5th of October Lewis Gibson was tragically taken from this world in a terrible accident on the road.

Lewis was an amazing husband and sole mate , father, father in law, grandfather, brother, brother in law, cousin, uncle and friend to so many.

Lewis was the sole provider. With Katie being unable to work this page has been created to support her at the trying and difficult time. ACC is contributing $6500 but still leaves us with roughly another $7 thousand to pay.
