Ngā mate

Ka nui te mihi i runga i ngā tini āhuatanga o te wā.

Master Taiaroa (Bubu) Tuatini-Love passed away on Thursday 2 May in Waikato Hospital surrounded by whānau. We had his tangihanga at Te Puke Marae in Raetihi. We are so blessed to have had Taiaroa in our lives for eight short years. He showed and taught us all the true meaning of strength, aroha, and determination. He was a real fighter, right to the end.

We were honoured to have our Ngāi Tahu kaumātua and leaders pay their respects at his tangihanga. A huge mihi and aroha goes out to our Ngāti Moki and Taumutu rūnanga whānau – love to you all and thank you so much for your aroha and koha.

Arohanui, Maaki and Tipi.

Master Taiaroa (Bubu) Tuatini-Love.
