It is with the heaviest heart that I put up this 'Give a Little' page in supporting this wonderful family through the passing of their beautiful son Jacob.

Jacob tragically died in an accident while on a visit to the island of Lombok, in Indonesia, away from his family in New Zealand.

The family are devastated and overwhelmed with grief over this sudden unexpected loss of their much loved son and brother.

Mark has had to make the difficult journey to Lombok to bring our Jay home.

Any support for this family through their tragic loss would be truly appreciated.

Cinnamon Clune's involvement (page creator)

I am a friend of the family, our sons were good mates and want to support them during this time.

Funds will be paid to Jacob's mother Sarah.

Use of funds

The money will help reinstate costs for the overseas retrieval of Jacobs remains, costs of the funeral & for much needed grief support/therapy for the family. Thank you to everyone who chooses to help the Lentons. They are truly appreciative.

They are also looking into any ACC support they may be entitled to

Thank you 💜 🕊 31 August 2024

Hello All,

Several days have passed since this page was started for Jacobs family, to assist with the heavy expenses suffered to bring Jay back from Indonesia, to then honor & farewell him, here at home.

Firstly, thank you so very much for your contribution. For the messages of sympathy and your kindness. It has made such a difference.

I wish to express my deepest gratitude to you all for supporting the family through this difficult time.

Even if you did not know Jacob.

Jacob loved his family, so much, and his friends and colleagues alike. Jay gave his time, energy and respect to everyone he met, and knew. He had a quiet way about him. But he was also handsome and fit for adventure, always with a big smile on his face. The kind of person you want know. Kind and humble. There is so much more to say ...

This tragedy, and loss leaves us with memories of Jay full of love that will stay with us always. Jacob was a beautiful soul.

Sharing this page helps broaden our 'village' of support for the Lenton family. I encourage you to please SHARE this page with others to help build on what has been raised so far.

Thank you again for your time and support.

Yours Sincerely

Cinnie
