Edward HICKEY Obituary

(Nearly Honest Brent)
Steph, Hayden, Tara, and their families would like to extend their deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us following the sudden loss of Brent. We have appreciated the kindness shown through visits, meals, messages, phone calls, beautiful flowers, trees, and thoughtful cards. Your compassion has meant so much during this difficult time. A special thank you to all who joined us for Brent's final day at work and his Memorial Service. Brent would have been so proud of the many people who travelled so far to farewell him. We are especially grateful to Matt Chisholm for MC'ing the service and helping to create a heartfelt yet fun celebration of Brent's life. Thank you to the Alexandra Bowling Club-one of Brent's favourite places-for providing the venue and assisting with afternoon tea and bar service. We also want to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of those who supported Brent on his final day: St John Ambulance, Otago/Southland Rescue Helicopter Trust, Dunstan Hospital, and Dunedin Hospital. Your care and dedication will never be forgotten. We are so grateful for the amazing support we've received from so many.

"The world feels quieter without you, yet your echo lives on in every heart you touched. A big soul never truly leaves-it becomes legacy."

Hi Steph
It´s with great sadness we have just found out that Brent has passed.
We have been away a lot this year so I´m guessing we missed this tragic news
I can´t believe he came to visit us in the summer and had a great catch up
I hope you and the family are ok
Sending hugs
Love Smilie and Barb

Steph, Hayden and Tara, I was shocked to read that your beloved Brent has died! I wasn´t aware, otherwise I´d have been in Alex to celebrate his life with you and the Woolbuyers fraternity! Please accept the Woodham family´s condolences! Ann
