Remembering Jake McKinlay
A page to support Jake's Mum Gayna and their whanau.
Manawatu / Whanganui
On Monday 20th December, 2021, a son, grandson, nephew, godson and friend to so many - was tragically taken from this world in a car accident on his way home.
Jake Tyrone McKinlay, 20 years of age with his entire life ahead of him. A talented, kind and always wore a smile a mile wide. A hard working and determined young man who lit up the basketball courts as well as any room he walked into.
Jake leaves behind his amazing mumma, Gayna, who will have to navigate a way forward without her SONshine. Her absolute world.
We have set up this page to support the whanau in the coming days and weeks as they prepare to farewell this beautiful young man.
Please support in any way you are willing and are able, please accept our gratitude and humble thanks on behalf of Gayna and the family.
E moe e tama, rest Jake. You will always hold a special place in the hearts of so many.
