Funeral costs and wellbeing of Dreads boys.

Wellington, Kapiti Coast District

This page has been crafted for Dwayne's four boys to help support them financially since the tragic loss of their papa.

The passing of Dwayne Patea has been sudden and unexpected for all the whanau.

Dwayne was also known as "Dread" or "Dreadlock". He had such a kind warm and loving heart, and always had such a chilled relaxed vibe about him. He was such a humble man.

He was an amazing papa to his four boys and taught them many life lessons. The boys were his love and life and he was always so proud of them. Dread was musically talented and his gift of music was passed down to his boys.

Dwayne "Dread" Patea - a loving papa, brother, son, cousin, uncle, and friend to so many!

Your memory will forever live on with your boys.

I’m devastated to hear this tragic news. Dwayne and I were close many years ago and I adored his charismatic charm, gracious spirit, humbleness and courteous nature. I’m so sorry for the family’s loss. His beautiful smile will never be forgotten.
