On behalf of Frucor Suntory I wish to send our sincere condolences and love to you at this terrible time. Michael was a great contributor to our sales team while he was with us. A man of few words but very willing to learn and always the first to help his team mates in any way he could.

When he told me it was time for him to head off overseas I knew we were letting go one of the good buggers!

Go well Michael you definitely left a mark on The Wolfpack team and will be sorely missed by all that knew you

Dear Nicky and John and family,
We mourn with you as you farewell your gorgeous son, brother and grandson. Michael was a shining light even as a tiny boy at meadowbank primary. A loyal friend, keen sportsman, full of mischievous fun, clever as, but above all a proud part of the Durkin 6, and a tight set of 4 outstanding brothers. A life to celebrate even though taken way too soon.
Our thoughts are with you all.
With love,
Helen & Alrick, Matt Will & James
