Jih,
Always cracking a smile, funnier than your old man and sometimes even more coordinated than him too!
Every time I jump online and see your name it will always make me think back to the days when you, Hemi and I used to sit down together and did what we loved to do yanno, that was our thing.

You went too soon little man, I’ll never forget you. Sending my condolences to you and the family and I’m sorry for your loss.

I was one of jihs friends from school before I left I just wanted to say that I’m a sorry for your loss and he will forever be a place in our heart

My sincere condolences to your family 🙏 A life taken far too soon. May you rest in peace and shine brightly in the night sky for all to remember you.

Once again condolences on behalf of we in thee United States,and also those of my brothers and sisters at Aotearoa.Arohanui to to y’all.

I don’t think you could find another kid who could make friends as fast as you so I know many more lives than we know have been touched by your presence.
I will miss you trying to dodge my kisses and reluctantly hugging me, conceding defeat, knowing you weren’t going to get a choice. This world can be so cruel sometimes and taking you was an incredibly cruel act. You had so much more life to live and so many more lives to touch. I hate that you have been taken from people who loved you and cared for you.

Our hearts are filled with sadness and heartache with your young life ending far too soon. You are so dearly loved by so many and will live on in the hearts of all that loved you. It was a privilege to have known you. Rest easy, Jih 🤍

It is with absolute heartache we send our condolences, knowing your time with us has come to an end is unfathomable. You were loved beyond measure Jih and live in our hearts always.
May the stars align and light your way ✨️ 🤍

Your life too short, but know you are forever loved especially by your family and mum.
Forever Young 🫶🏻
