A gentle portrait of Shibu Andrews, reflecting his warmth and generosity.
Hamilton, Waikato
It is with profound sorrow that we share the unexpected passing of Shibu Andrews(49), a much-loved and active member of the Hamilton community, who passed away suddenly this morning(29/01/26).
Shibu was a devoted family man and a valued part of our community. He leaves behind his wife and two young children, whose lives have been forever changed by this tragic loss. His kindness, generosity, and willingness to support others will always be remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
During this incredibly difficult time, the family hopes to repatriate Shibu’s body to India, so he can be laid to rest at home among his loved ones, in accordance with cultural and religious traditions. The sudden nature of this loss has also brought significant and unexpected financial challenges.
This Give a little page has been created to help support Shibu’s family with repatriation costs, funeral arrangements, and immediate living needs, allowing them the space to grieve without the added burden of financial stress.
Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Shibu’s family in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support during this time of deep sorrow.
Regards
