Providing support for Zarsha and her two girls at this tremendously difficult time.

Morrinsville, Waikato

After the heartbreaking loss of Mike, this page has been created to help support Makayla and Emma’s future. No amount of money can ever replace Mike — a loving dad, partner, and friend — but our hope is that this fund can ease even a small part of the weight Zarsha now carries, and offer some comfort and security for the girls in the years ahead.

Thank you 💔❤️‍🩹  25 December 2025

Posted by: Zarsha Osborne

The girls and I would like to say a massive heartfelt thank you, for all the love, support, and generosity. Your messages and emails are giving us strength we didn't know we had.

Christmas is Mikes favourite time of the year. He worked non stop everyday to give the kids a good Christmas.

We are eternally grateful thst Mike pushed to have a totally out of the blue family holiday this winter so we could spent time together making memories and ticking bucket list visit items off driving around the South Island for the first time as a family. He was so happy. We all were. 😢

Please hold your loved ones close, tell them you love them daily and take nothing for granted. Spend any time you can with your kids, they idolise you and those memories are for life. Take lots of family photos. Im so glad I did now!

Mike loved our family and we feel that still.

Heres the quote he had us live by and we will continue to....

"Enjoy yourself, its later than you think"
