Let’s help Ashleigh & Kids

Wellington

It is a massive shock for all of us that we lost Vincent “Vinnie” Cornell on Sunday, 19th January 2025.

A Loving Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Uncle, Cousin, and Friend.

Vinnie gave his life to save his brother’s life—a selfless and heroic act that speaks volumes about the man he was.

Vinnie is survived by his beautiful family: his loving wife, Ashleigh, and their cherished children, Michael, Paris, Cleo, and Jasmine.

Vinnie was an amazing and loving husband and father, who poured his heart and soul into his family. He was the pillar of strength and joy in their lives. His love for Ashleigh and his children was boundless; they were his world and his purpose. Every moment he spent with his family was filled with care, laughter, and unconditional love.

Vinnie also gave so much to so many beyond his own family. He was always the first to step up, ready to move mountains for those he loved or anyone in his circle. His generosity, courage, and devotion to his family and friends will forever leave a legacy of love and kindness.

As we move forward, it’s crucial that we continue to stand by Ashleigh and the children, offering them our unwavering support in the days, months, and years to come.

Please give if you can, to help ease their burden during this difficult time. Let’s honour Vinnie’s memory by coming together as a community, just as he always did for us
