John TAYLOR Obituary

In Loving Memory of John Cameron Taylor. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, granddad, great-granddad, and mum's everything, John Taylor on Monday, 22nd September 2025, at the age of 80. A devoted husband to Kathy, cherished father and good mate to Stephen and Jill, Kevin and Kirsten, Deanne and Bev, Shane and Myra. Adored Granddad, Poppa and Pop to his 13 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. His love, laughter, and wisdom touched every generation of our family, and his legacy will live on in the stories we share. Dad was the heart of our family - a man of quiet strength, warm hugs, and cheeky smiles. He taught us how to love deeply, live generously, and laugh often. His bond with Mum was a beautiful example of true partnership, and their love was a guiding light for us all. A celebration of John's life will be held on Tuesday, the 30th of September at 1.00pm, at the Robert Gibson Hall Manaia. All who knew and loved him are welcome to join us in honouring his memory. A delayed recording of John's service will be available on his tribute page at www.hardingsfunerals.co.nz/tributes

Forever in our hearts
Rest peacefully, Dad
