Bruce WEBB Obituary

WEBB, Bruce Edward. 15 September 1956 - 18 December 2025 Bruce passed away suddenly on Thursday 18 December, aged 69 years and was taken far too soon. A true legend in every sense of the word, Bruce was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. With his kindness, humility, friendship and sense of humour, Bruce had a way of making people feel welcome, seen, and cared for. His energy and presence lit up every room and his impact will be felt for years to come. Loved husband, best friend and soul mate of Debbie. Treasured son of Bet Webb and the late Edward Webb. Devoted father of Nick, Lucy, Cam, Andre, Brielle and Chase. Adored grandfather and Riggy of Harlie, River, Bodhi, Indy, Jacob, Aston, Sybby, Augie, Wolfie, Rocco and Lennox. Cherished brother of Gordon and Jan, and brother-in-law of Jean. Loved uncle of Angie and Russ, Stephen and Rose, Rochelle and Kristina. Wonderful father-in-law to Kristie, Justin, Charlie, Lara, Ben and Rochelle. Respected friend to so so many in New Zealand and all over the world - namely Australia, United States, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands. We are in absolute shock and devastation by such a tragic loss of the best man we knew. We will forever miss our darling Riggy. We have been so honored to know and love such a beautiful, kind soul. A celebration of Bruce's life will be held at the Royal Akarana Yacht Club, Hyundai Marine Sports Centre, 8-10 Tamaki Drive, Okahu Bay, Auckland on Monday 29 December 2025 at 1pm, followed by refreshments.

Thinking of you and the family Deb, devastating news you are in our thoughts and prayers . Bruce started as my landlord which developed into a great friendship, occasionally you and Bruce would pop into the apartment in Mission Bay to say hi and have a glass of wine Bruce and I would yak about rugby and surfing. Treasured memories of not only a special man but a special partner and special family.
Rest in love Bruce we will miss you mate but guaranteed never forget you one for the road

Dear Debbie and dear Webb family, I'm still shocked for this incredible loss..
My husband Dario who passed away in 2012, considered Bruce like a brother and he became the same for me every time he visited Viadana in Italy. Me and Dario shared beautiful moments with Bruce, Debbie and their wonderful family and I had the honour of being their guest in NZ.
Bruce will remain in the hearts of his friends for ever..
Dear Debbie, I feel close to you in your grief...let your wonderful family and friends hold you up and carry you on through life. With love
Gio

Hi Bruce, it's a sad day, but I want to remember all the good times we had together. You were a great friend who remembered me every time he came to Italy. Even though we didn't play together, we had great times, and I'm honored to be your friend. Bye 'nimal,' I love you. Have a good trip.
Abitanti hug to Deb and all.

Dear Debbie, Viv ,I am just still trying to fathom the loss of Bruce in your lives. Bruce was such a friend in the Opunake days. So much fun and mischief with Mike, Paddy and Graeme M. and others. He has always been a constant in my life since then and particularly over the last 20 years keeping in touch and catching up, eg the World Cup in Paris and lately at Piha. Bruce and you lived and loved your life to the fullest. Aroha. viv Norris

Dear Debbie, dear whole of Bruce´s family, Bruce has been our best friend for 45 years, since he came to play rugby in Viadana ( a small town in Northern Italy). He and Debbie visited us and we lived together many happy days, important moments of our life. We will treasure our friendship forever, we will treasure your kindness, your happy and positive attitude toward life.
But we will miss you so much as our life will not be the same without you. Thank you Brucello for everything you have donated to us. You will be with us forever. We love you all

Still in shock! Hard to fathom this. Bruce was a good man and I shared quite a few good times with him. We first met in our first year at St Kents. I have many memories of those days. Bruce also helped me with some real estate matters. Very professional and great at his profession. I'm shocked because he lived such a healthy lifestyle. He was fit and enjoyed his time with his family and travels. My sincere condolences to Debbie and his family & loved ones.
