Kesson SHARP Obituary

SHARP, Kesson Robert. It's with great sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved Kesson. After a courageous battle with MSA, he passed away on 3 May 2022 at Tauranga Hospital, aged 77. Much loved husband of 53yrs to Gaylene, treasured dad and father-in-law to Fraser, Adrienne and Rachel, adored poppa (and epic Monopoly player) to Nate and Baxter, and cousin, brother-in-law, uncle and friend to many. A private cremation will be held, with a service to celebrate Kesson's life to be held in late May. Contact 0278015534 for details. Forever swimming in the surf and forever in our hearts.

I worked with Kesson at BNZ when he first left school, then in later years at Holeproof. He was such a keen surfer. My condolences to his family.

SHARP, Kesson Robert. Passed away on May 3, 2022. I never got to say my final goodbye because I am doing what you would have wanted and that is representing my country internationally. The dance is for you, only problem, it won't be the last. R.I.P. Kesson Robert Sharp. Your Son Fraser. Thoughts are with my Mum Gaylene and Adrienne and family.
