In memory of Jack Bisset who was taken too soon.

Auckland

On Saturday 16th April 2017 Don, Ange, Henry and James received the devastating news that their beloved seventeen year old son and brother Jack had passed away in his sleep from complications resulting from a seizure.

Jack had just started on his next great life journey at Otago studying conjoint law and science. It was going well, he was loving Otago and all the challenges of first-year university.

Jack was a wonderful young man, and all that knew him are absolutely devastated that someone who had so much potential and life yet to live has been taken so soon.

The Bisset family have been a key part of the Takapuna Grammar School Rowing Club for a number of years.

Jack has been part of Takapuna Grammar School Rowing Club family since 2012. His father Don has been the President for the last 3 years and Jack's younger brothers are currently following in his footsteps as key members of our novice and junior crews.

Both Don and Ange work tirelessly supporting the club and it's members. This is our opportunity to show our love and appreciation, and support them during this terrible time

This page has been set up for family and friends to donate and support the Bisset family during this time.
