Gregory SPARGO Obituary

A year since you left us. You are thought about each and every day, getting easier? not really but we must move on. Our love will always be with you wherever you are. Fly free our darling son and brother.
Mum

Another birthday over. Missed your big hug, smile and cheeky comments.
Great to see Craig's GoPro photos of your 2013 Canadian skiing trip. All those trees you had to go around, and probably some you didn't! Not a day goes by without many thoughts of you. So many treasured memories of time spent together. Love you always.

It is surprising how many years ago that I came to regard Greg as a close friend. We shared so much over the years from Friday drinks at F&B Jones to years of soccer together at Lynndale. Greg slept at our flats most weekends, and for years we flatted together in Kelston. I have lots of photos of Greg and Craig and view them often. Carol and I will miss the visits on the big bike and we always think of Greg when we see bikes out on the open road. You left a bit too soon.

Well its been over seven months now and I still feel very sad and am still thinking you're going to arrive back from a skiing trip or somewhere. The world is just not the same without you here mate. It's now that I do hope there is "the other side" so we can meet once again. Never far from my thoughts when I'm plastering every day, as you taught me so well.

2nd May 2014 Greg's 51st birthday. A memorial tree planting at Redwood Park Golf Club attended by many friends. We miss you every day. The love and joy you brought to so many people is amazing. Wherever you are now, you are free. Our love will always be with you.

2nd May 2014 Greg's. 51st birthday. A memorial tree planting at Redwood Park Golf Club, attended by many of your friends. A wonderful ongoing tribute to you. Every day we think of you and miss you so. Remembering how you loved life and people, the Joy you gave to us all. Wherever you are now our love is there with you, always. Mum, Dad and Craig.

Hey couzie!so sad so tragic. Have been remembering all the fun times we had as kids. Thats for teaching me how to play pool. My love, thoughts and prayers for uncle John Aunty Eunice and Craig. Sorry I couldnt be there to celebrate your life! I am thankful I have been part of your life and family xo

I've been making many ski runs recently with Greg in mind, trusting he is riding along side me. I considered Greg a good friend having met him several years ago while working as a Snow Host at Big White Canada. Upon his every return visit we would reconnect and have a great time together with his brother, and friends. We also shared many great ski days together and lots of laughs. Although he lived very far away, with email, the world becomes a small place. He will be truly missed, by myself and Louise. Rest is peace good friend.

Greg .... like an older brother I never had who I looked up to so much. So proud to call you a friend and held you as one of my closest. Will miss you so much.

We would like to sincerely thank all the people who have given us so much love and support since Greg's death. It has been so overwhelming the number of cards, emails, telephone calls and flowers we have received. There are just too many for us to reply to each one personally. Live your lives to the fullest, as Greg did; he would want nothing less.

Bye Mate. Greg - my brother. A shock, a numb feeling to hear of such a tragedy. To lose a bloke of such fun & enthusiasm who did everything, saw places & made so many friends.

My kids miss you. Anne and I will always think of the great times we had. You were a true friend and a great part of my family.

Miss you bud.

Greg - thank you for all the memories. I am so glad you called into Vicky and Martin's in Dec so we could catch up - you never know what is around the corner! Sorry we could not be there to say goodbye. Our thoughts are with your parents and Craig. Love Nikki Mark and kids xx

Greg - so many wonderful memories you have left us with. I am so glad you called into Vicky and Martin's in Dec so we could catch up. You never know what is around the corner. Our thoughts are with your parents and Craig. Sorry we could not be there to say Goodbye. xx

It's still hard to accept such a vibrant person could be taken from us. Deepest condolences to the family.

I was so sad to hear this news. Spending time with you and our friends were the best times of my life. You were our best mate. Such great times - bbqs, pig on the spit (my surprise 21st), dive trips, trivial pursuit at home with your family. Thanks for the wonderful memories. My condolences to the Spargo family. Cherish the memories of such a special boy. Carissa x

So very sorry to hear the news. I only knew you for a few weeks last year when you visited Big White in Canada. Had some great skiing with you and the other people in your group. You will be remembered. My condolences to your family, relatives and friends.

You have been a part of our family for longer than I care to remember. A best mate to my brother Paul, a true friendship like that is rare & I know he will treasure that forever.
It was a privilege to have known you & I will always remember the sincere interest you took in my life everytime we got together.
My thoughts are with your Mum,Dad & Craig who I know share a heavy heart.

Rest Easy

So sad for my dear friend Eunice, for John and Craig. May the love of family and friends be of comfort to you. As Eunice said, fly free Greg. Shirley Duncan, Buderim, Australia

One of the best and an all round awesome guy to talk too at Redwood Park Golf Club.. It so sucks that your no longer there. In the future we will play for the Greg Spargo Cup at Redwood in your honour my friend... Love Chris Kell, Tony T and Grant Bourne...

We are at Big White in Canada, the ski resort that you recommended that we visit. Martin is using the skis that you encouraged him tobuy, and making movies using the Go Pro that you lent us. You even offered to take us all to the airport. Yes, you were a great part of our lives.

We are a blessed family, that shares its life with some wonderful friends. Friends that are now grieving from your loss.

How we wish that we where back in New Zealand with them to share some great stories about a friend that was part of all our lives. A great person with an amazing passion for life and friendship.

We loved how you would just pop in to visit us, it was wonderful. We always enjoyed whenever you spent time with us and we often found ourselves reflecting on the how much we had enjoyed your company.

We have had many wonderful adventures together, mountain biking, boating, skiing, diving, camping, and even touch rugby. You had the most uncanny ability to turn up in our lives unexpectedly, from parking beside us up the mountain after a 4 hour spontaneous drive to go skiing, to popping in at home when we have 27 people from Warkworth at our house and you knew most of them!!!

You knew so many people.

You had the most amazing personality and were always there for your friends.Nothing was ever too big an ask.

We will all miss you more than we bare to think.

Whatever the reason God has taken you early from us, it had better be a good one.

A piece of our heart goes with you. Our thoughts and condolences to Greg's parents and fantastic brother Craig.

Love

Vicky and Martin
Hannah and Campbell

Life long friend of Paul. Honorary family member of Anne, Jack & Amy. A massive void in our lives who will be forever missed. Our New Year's will never be the same. Ride free dear friend. Our deepest sympathy to Eunice, John and Craig xxx

We will miss you so much in the coming months when we go to one of your favourite places to ski. We treasure the memories we have had with you over the past years, all our skiing, mountain biking & holidays. A true friend that was always there to help. Our love & thoughts are with your Mum, Dad & Craig along with all the others who you meant so much to.
