John BUDD Obituary

6.2.1945 - 26.3.2026
JB passed away at Whanganui hospital, aged 81. Dearly loved by all his children, Rodney and Vicky, Rueben, Fiona, Cheryl and Rowan, and Timothy, his sisters and brother-in-law Evelyn and Colin, and Angela and others who have passed away. Loved by all his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. A heartfelt thanks to his wonderful friends Jimmy, Carrie, Mark, Nicole, Craig and the McColl family, Adrian, Terry, and Tana. He spoke so highly of you and regarded you all as family. Your friendship, love and kindness towards our dad will never be forgotten. John lived life to the full, so many adventures with his hunting and jetboating mates. There are so many memories to cherish. Thank you Stoney, Red, Olly, Daniel, and so many more. In accordance with JB's wishes he did not want a funeral service or any social media announcements. His wish was to be cremated and laid to rest at the Patea cemetery privately with his Mum at a later date.
Rest in peace JB. You will be missed.
