Jonathan WICKEN Obituary

So sorry for your loss Laura and Eli and Eva. your loss is deeply felt

What a legend he was! My first boss in the big corporate world who helped to emphasise the important parts of life. All my thoughts are with Jon´s family and friends.

Such a shock to hear this news .. I used to work with Jono n mum Alyson way back in the day .. deepest condolences to Aly n Jono's whanau R.I.L Jono

A catchup meeting together came up on my calendar today it just hit me with so much sadness. Jon you came to MSD and became my manager and in that short time you showed how an amazing person you truly are. You didn't want to change us. You showed us how you wanted to support us in every way you could. Thank you for being that person. We shared stories about each others families and you were just a cool guy. Rest in love Jon. We will miss you. Watch over your family during this time.
Ka aroha to your beautiful whanau.

So shocked and saddened to hear this tragic news my thoughts are with you all.

From working with Jon to being a good friend and strong support person to me, Jon will be tremendously missed. Jon was always a phone call away. My deepest condolences to Jon's family and friends.

So sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Jon. I still have fond memories of him from when we worked together many years ago. Much love and hugs to his family at this incredibly sad time.

A Good person and a good, understanding Manager to get along. Jon loved his family. Will miss you in person

I worked with Jono at times some years back. Our jobs crossed paths and he supported some of the things I was doing. Always jovial to deal with but equally took his role seriously and did it well. I'm truly shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his sudden passing. Sincerest condolences to his wife and children - and to his wider family.

Sending the whanau lots of aroha at this time. Devastating loss. Jon was so proud of his kids and was always on the football sidelines cheering Eli on in all weather! Thinking of you all at this time

So devastated for you Laura, Eli and Eva. Sending our deepest sympathies and love. Jon was an amazing guy - always up for a laugh, or a beer and always thinking of others.
