Support for Mac's family.

The horrific car accident at Mangatainoka on Thursday 4th April claimed the life of our amazing little brother Macauley (Mac) Arnott, who was only 13 years old.

Mac would have been turning 14 on Friday 12 April, he was so excited and looking forward to their planned family trip on the weekend to Adrenaline Forrest to celebrate his birthday.

Mac was the youngest of seven and was adored by all his older brothers and sisters, and in return he also had endless love for all his family. Mac was a kind and gentle boy, with an eagerness to learn, he was interested in anything that was new to him, and had a curiosity that made him thrive.

Mac lived in Pahiatua enjoying farm life and had a great sense of adventure, loving to explore new things. His quirky sense of humour and amazing creativity & imagination are also things that we will all remember him for.

Mac’s hobbies included collecting rocks, drawing, playing squash and had a new found love for cricket. He played squash and cricket alongside his BMF (Best Mate Forever) Koben, who he was travelling to a squash game with at the time of the accident. The accident also left Koben in an induced coma with serious head injuries and killed Koben’s father Kevin.

Adjusting to life without Mac will be extremely hard for all our family, and also for Mac’s many many friends. Not a day will go by where he isn’t thought about, remembered, and missed.

Any funds raised from this will be put towards Mac's funeral expenses and any ongoing costs. Your help and support at this difficult time is greatly appreciated.
