Ian MORGAN Obituary

A couple of months back we were getting worried as you stopped coming in then one day in early June I saw you get off the bus in Grey Lyn on my way to the physio (that was me tooting my horn and yelling out to you) That made my day seeing you knowing you were still here...
We always looked forward to having you in dine in for lunch. Starting off with once a week visits then we'd get lucky and see you 2-3 times in one week! Will miss our chats about your bus trips out to Pukekohe and we'll never know if they got that heat pump installed that you never wanted.
Definitely a regular who's absence is felt. Rest Easy Ian.

Those we have Learned from, Leaned on, Laughed with, Loved most,
Leave us the best Memories.

Just saw this - he´s been there for most of my working life as a suit on queen street - such a shame RIP

Lovely guy who had a tough road through life. Saw him most days during my 22 years working near "the road" rip

Now and then on a Wednesday I had lunch at the Angus Steak house in Forte Lane and he would be there having lunch. He was such an icon. So sad to read of his passing in the article in the herald today RIP Ian. Julene

Aww I just saw this, sad news. He was an Icon on Auckland streets. The angels will find him a comfy cloud to while away the hours on. From just another person who will miss seeing your long hair and impressive beard.
RIP Ian

Saddened to hear Ian has passed. I hope he finds his beloved dog Sky in Heaven and he lives on in his spiritual life.

Auckland city won't be the same without you. You were and are an icon of the city. Rest in power Ian 'one dread' Morgan

Rest In Love Because you definitely were loved! Look at all these messages
You will clearly, always be remembered. You're iconic! You're a legend Put your feet up now Ian

A Gentleman and an icon of city life ,Rest Easy

A true individual that encapsulated the essence of Auckland. Will miss seeing those familiar dreads that my senses acknowledged as home. RIP

Sorry you didn't make to your 70th buddy You were an Auckland stalwart Rest in peace and love Ian

When I first came to Auckland in 1998 I was often crying and he used to come up to me and just stand in front of me.. When I talked to him over the years in Parnell.. and then had a daughter he used to sometimes walk with me down the street. He never said very much but when I handed him some Phoenix Guava juice at the time working there he was really polite.. always remember his long heavy dreads.. hope he´s in peace

Sad news. Thanks for all of the chats on Notley St, go well on your new big adventure xx

Legend, a great man of Auckland city.
You are a treasure

So very sad to hear of this. Goodbye. Sending you love.

I always admired your individuality
Sorry that you didn't make it to the big 70
Rest in Paradise with your family

Definitely an icon when it comes to K Rd. Fond memories... Fly free

He is ingrained in my memories of my 20s. I hope he is at peace and his family are comforted. RIP homie.

RIL Ian you were definitely one of Auckland City´s Iconic people of the 2000s Fly High and be free

Ian....Last time I saw you was at your brother Bobs funeral. You were a true family person and very close to your mum and dad when they were alive. Now you can go and be happy once again and join your mum and dad and Bob in heaven. Your sister will miss your weekly phone calls. May you rest in peace.

always make time for a chat

RIP Ian One Dread, although I never got the chance to say hi, I would often see you doing your thing around Auckland over the many decades with your trusty bag over your shoulder. The most recent time was at Henderson Train Station during summer 2023. Another one of Auckland's quiet icons from the bygone era has left the building. May you rest in everlasting peace sir

Sorry to hear Ian has passed away.
Tried to call him last week as I hadn't heard from him for a few weeks. RIP Ian, love Steve & Gayle.

Rest in peace Ian, We uses to see you around the village in Mt Eden all the time. A very nice man. You will be missed

Very sad to hear this. Had many a great chat with Ian and discussed hot TAB tips every Wednesday night in Parnell. I´ll always remember you Ian. RIP old friend. Steve

Very sad to see this. Ian came to see me not too long and we had a good chat, I will miss those chats and the laughs we had.
