Supporting Kyle's Family Following His Sudden Passing

Mission Bay, Auckland

Kyle was a true craftsman and one of the most genuine people you could ever meet. He took immense pride in his work and was a master of his craft, always finding a way to help.

What many will remember most, however, was Kyle's kind and generous nature. He was quick with a smile, always happy to have a chat, and somehow always managed to insist on giving you a discount. He was the sort of person who put people before profit and service before self. Kyle was a cherished part of the Eastridge community and will be remembered not only for his skill and dedication, but for the warmth, humour, and goodwill he shared with everyone who crossed his path. He will be deeply missed.

Kyle's sudden passing will come as a shock to the many regulars and friends he made throughout his many years at Eastridge. His absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him, and by the countless customers whose lives he touched with his skill, generosity, and good nature.

Any support no matter how small will be greatly appreciated.
