Support for Jesse McQueen-Richards Family
This page has been created to help cover Jesse’s funeral costs and support Lily and Danielle as we navigate life without him.
Dunedin, Otago
On the 22nd of August, our world was shattered with the sudden passing of my beloved husband, Jesse. He was an incredible father to our precious daughter, Lily, and a much-loved son, grandson, brother, and uncle. Jess touched so many lives with his kindness, love, and laughter, and his absence has left an unimaginable hole in our hearts.
As we navigate this devastating loss, I am determined to honour Jess’s memory and ensure his legacy lives on through Lily. Any funds raised will go towards Jesse’s funeral services and to help with bills as we adjust to life without him.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, compassion, and generosity during this heartbreaking time.
