Brett ROHLOFF Obituary

Aged 72. Passed on 19 January 2026 at Waikato Hospital after a brief and unexpected illness. Much loved son of Maurice (dec) and Joan (dec). Treasured brother and brother-in-law of Maurie and Judy, Lynne and Ron (dec), Des, Danny (dec), Keith (dec), and Debbie. Beloved uncle, great-uncle, cousin, and friend of many. Brett leaves behind many who love him. Our sincerest thanks to Waikato Hospital for their care and support of Brett and our family. Brett had many professions during his life, but none more significant than his time with New Zealand Post, where he became the youngest postmaster at the time. No funeral will be held. A private cremation has taken place, as per Brett's wishes. Brett, your company, kindness, wit and sense of humour will be missed by all those fortunate enough to have known you. May his memory be a blessing as we carry forth his legacy of love and compassion in all that we do.

So very shocked and sad to hear of Brett´s passing. Back over 40 years ago he was a workmate at Centreplace Post Office who became a friend. He was such a character with the best sense of humour.Thinking of his family .

It was an absolute shock to hear of Brett's passing. He was a true friend who was always there to help me. We shared many meals together and it was always delightful to catch up with his many stories. I look at the chair where you often sat on a Saturday evening, I will fondly remember you. Sleep well my friend.

So deeply saddened to hear of Brett's passing. As an original member of the Centreplace crew, it has been a privilege, and a joy to have known Brett for the past 40 years. He was truly one of a kind, whose stories always managed to bring such laughter.

Devastated to hear of your passing Brett. You were the best boss I have ever had, and I doubt there will be another one better. You may be gone but those 40 years of great memories will live in.
