Chase, you are an amazing person.
Friends since joining the RNZN in 2009 you and I share some awesome memories I will cherish always. Thank you for being a shoulder to lean on, a friend to rely on, and just being there for me whenever I needed you. Definately missing our late night conversations and midday lunches at the local sushi bar. I will love and MISS YOU......forever.
You really are one of a kind.

Forever in my heart... You made a big impact on my life, and I have a feeling it will continue that way. Until we meet again xx

I remember when we met, tensions raised, a worried eye. You were in the navy, shoulders stiff, head high. We were in the army, different tasks and command. But we all came together, and carried out the demand. That homestead was our intro into your life that's true. Honestly bro, we'd have gone 2 war with you. Our time was short, but those days were spent well. We were happy too hear, some of the things you didn't tell. You had big bones, wore your heart on your sleeve. It just sucks really bad, that it was your time to leave. You were always so funny, with big muscles on that shoulder. So even though your gone, you'll remain a meke soldier. Love you bro!

Your visit to your dad and I was one we will remember for ever. You were able to have a taste of life with us and left some wonderful memories. You made an impression on your other step siblings Clayton and Leyla that formed a lasting loving relationship with them also. Will miss you until the day we meet again. Love Always Karina, Dad, Clayton, Leyla, Jesse and Danielle xxx

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

O'CONNOR, Chase Richard Te Kuma. A much loved great nephew of Velma and Ross Jones and cousin of Paul, Jodie, and Caren. Will be sadly missed but the many happy memories of summers at the beach will always be with us. Rest in peace Chase.
