Hemi HOLDEN Obituary

HOLDEN, Hemi Gerald. Passed away whilst on holiday in Laos on Monday September 23rd; aged 35. Forever a traveller, Hemi will be farewelled onto the next part of his journey on Friday 4th October at 1pm, at St Faith's Church in Rotorua. His parents Wikitoria Oman, Richard Holden and stepmother Sonja Pedersen and siblings Gabrielle Ormiston and Keanu Holden will miss him dearly. Kia hora te marino, kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere te kārohirohi i mua i tō huarahi. May peace be widespread, may the sea glisten like greenstone, and may the shimmer of light guide you on your way.

Hemi,


A genuine good bloke taken from us far to soon.

You were such a social guy, who could get on with anyone. I guess this is why you didn't need social media...because you lived and breathed being social, not being social on a device. I'm sure we could all take a leaf out of your book.

All though we went on to do different things in life, I enjoyed the good times we spent together in Taranaki, and I am glad that you came to live with us and became part of our Puketapu-Collins whanau.

My thoughts are with your whanau, during this sad time.

Rest easy H, till we meet again.
