It is with a heavy heart that the Taranaki Whānau announce the passing of Ronald Douglas Taranaki.
Ron is the beloved husband of Ivy and father to his seven children, he was cherished by all of his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. He will lay at home from Monday until Wednesday 24th of April where he will take his final journey to Waimakariri Marae (819 Victoria Road, Matangi) and be put to rest beside his daughter, Julie. Final service will start at 11am on Thursday 25th of April. We would like to invite anyone who knew Ron as a cousin, Brother and a friend to come and celebrate his well-lived 81 years of life as he goes onto his next venture.
Ngā mihi nui,
Taranaki Whānau
