Garth BROWNING Obituary

Sorry for your loss Heather and Alistair just got the sad news from cousin Jeff. You are always remembered.

Garth was one of my real-life heroes. He dedicated his life to helping others in an area of the community that is often vilified; the world of addiction. He challenged our ideas, open minds and hearts and fought hard for all people on the margins. He did so with passion, love and a sense of humour. He changed me and how I see the world can never be unchanged because of Garth. He also gave me lots of flowers, which are flourishing in our garden, and by my desk is a wee Thunderbirds Virgil bobble head that he gave me from his wildly eclectic collection of things. Garth touched my heart and will stay there forever. Remembered always. X

So very sad and sorry to hear that Garth has passed away. His passion was infectious and his legacy will live on.

So saddened to hear of Garth's passing. A lovely man with a big heart. I will miss him. My thoughts are with you at this time. Maria Lempriere

Garth will always be a massive, massive inspiration to me. I love him as a brother and am thankful for all that I have learned from him. To his whanau and our community, I send my love and prayers. Haere ki te Atua...

Garth,your struggles have not been in vain. No one can possibly estimate the number of lives you have touched and changed. Go with our love and deep respect.

I am really sad to hear that your lovely brother has passed away Heather and Alastair (and I know how fond he was of you Bronwyn).
He was a true original.
Funny and creative.
A handsome man who could send himself and others up. He loved a good dance party but was always concerned about social justice.

He would of course cringe if I spoke to highly of him or showed to much emotion. Lol.
But my thoughts are with you at this time.

Much Love

The world gets more ordinary everyday without people like the Garth around.

So sorry to hear of Garth's passing. Hugs to you Heather and family. Love Ole and Pauline.
