Please support the whanau of Chris, Michele and Billy
Please support Chris and his whanau as they try to navigate through their painful loss.
Porirua, Wellington
In the early hours of Thursday 3rd October 2024, a vicious house fire claimed the lives of Chris's beautiful partner of 37 years, Michele, and their wee dog Billy. Chris tried desperately to save Michele, his little bestie and their lovely home which he built, refusing to give up even after emergency crews arrived. Michele is an adored Mum and a besotted Nana Chele, and is treasured by a large circle of whanau and friends. Billy loves walks with his Mum, hanging with his Dad and doggy daycare with his mates. Chris, Michele and Billy, and their whanau and friends, are in our thoughts.
The whanau of Chris and Michele wish to publicly acknowledge the emergency services who have been involved in this heartbreaking tragedy. Their professionalism and unwavering efforts, along with their kindness and compassion is greatly appreciated.
