Raising funds to support Chrissy & Ivy after the loss of Tim.

Otago

Tim unexpectedly passed away at work on Sunday, 17 May 2026. His passing has come as a heartbreaking shock, leaving an immense void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him.

Tim was widely known and deeply respected throughout the aviation industry in both New Zealand and overseas. He had a genuine passion for aviation, particularly within the agricultural and farming sector, where he built strong friendships and made a lasting impact on so many people throughout his career.

In recent times, Tim had invested significantly into a new business venture, which adds another layer of uncertainty for his family as they now face both emotional and financial challenges while navigating life without him.

The funds raised will go directly towards supporting Tim’s family during this incredibly difficult time, helping to ease some of the pressures and challenges that lie ahead.

While nothing can take away the heartbreak of losing Tim, we hope this support will help honour his legacy and provide some comfort, stability, and peace to his beloved family.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
