Craig HAWKINS Obituary

what a guy qtm legend

Annemarie and extended Hawkins family, it is with great sadness that I have learnt of Craigs passing recently. I worked with Craig back in the 80/90's in NZ when stationed with the ChCh Police. He was a top bloke who was meticulous in everything he did and whose integrity went beyond reproach but also a down to earth good bugger. We had some exceptional experiences while working together which upon reflection is one of the privileges in life one encounters from time to time. My sincere condolences to all. Milky Wilson.

I was so sad to hear this news. I worked with Craig for many many years until his leaving. We shared a love of Rugby and especially the Highlanders. He was a beautiful person. Sending love and condolences to all. Wendy K

Condolences to you both Kerry and Sue. Thinking of you on this sad occasion.

Craig will be greatly missed by all who knew him especaly Tim Vicki Victoria and all the Mason family
During Craigs Early years in Invercargill he played in the bands Bandit and Kantz with Craig watt Nick Tansley and Tim Mason while also a member of the world title winning Caledonian pipe band, he continued playing in various bands in Australia with longtime friend Tim Mason
Craig joined the police force in New Zealand and later moved to Australia where he rose to the position of director at Queensland Crime Commission.
Craig was a person of high integrity and well respected by all that knew him.

In an earlier life he was an essential part of our family. The funny part, the loving and giving part , the great uncle to our kids. That's how I've remembered him. I can't change the hurt of my sister's actions but I am so very, very glad he found someone who truly loved him.
