Matthew HAYES Obituary

To Matt's family
I knew Matt through the NZ/Australian IP profession, and was shocked to hear of his passing. Matt was a truly lovely guy, who always had time for a chat, was always friendly and left everyone he met with a great lasting impression. Just a fantastic person. My thoughts are with you all in this most difficult time, he will be sorely missed.

To all of Matts family,it was very saddening to hear of Matts sudden passing. My thoughts are with you all. I have many fond memories of Matt from uni days. He was one of the great blokes. I have no doubt todays memorial will be an epic send off, filled with great stories and reflective of the awesome bloke Matt was.

Please accept my sincerest condolences in your tragic loss. I had the privilege of working alongside Matt on a major compliance project at BNZ quite a number of years ago. Matt brought so much energy and pragmatism to his role with his legal experience. He truly shone a beacon of clarity in this area in a way he has clearly touched and illuminated so many others' lives.
