John MATHESON Obituary
MATHESON, John Paul William (Matho/Daddy). Born January 20, 1968. Passed away on April 10, 2014. Ava-Dawn and I wish to thank everybody who sent messages of support, in remembrance of John to us this year. We could not respond to every text, email, voice message, floral and care package, online and broadcast tribute individually - but we have noted them all, and loved them. We treasure John's unique character with you all. Particular thanks to: my Mum and Dad and family; John's media and sporting family - RadioLIVE colleagues and Jana Rangooni and Melanie Jones; Sonja from Victim Support; Antonia Fisher QC and Claudia Farry; Dr Jonathan Casement of North Shore ICU; Harry Toleafoa and Colleagues at Auckland Law School; Sofia, Hayley, Amohelang and Ava's 64 BFFs; Mr Phillpotts; Shawny Prior; Brent Impey; Mick Watson; Cameron Slater; David Tua; Duco Events and David Higgins; Jason Taane; Bronwyn Macey; Reverend Sue Hogan and so many others! In a myriad of ways, John lives on.
