Devasting loss of a son, brother & uncle

Cromwell, Otago

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of a sudden and unexpected loss of a son, brother, uncle, a cherished family member and friend.

Niko Reid-Manuel 25 years old, passed away in a tragic car accident in Bannockburn, Central Otago on 10th October 2023.

As family and friends navigate this devastating time, we appreciate your love, and kind words. We are setting up this donation page for Niko's immediate family to help cover the expenses that come with such loss.

We acknowledge that no amount of money can ever fix the hurt and pain Nikos' parents and sisters are going through. We hope by removing the barriers to allow this family to grieve without financial stress would be a significant support, greatly appreciated.
