It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Tangiroa Vaineritua on 12 August 2026, surrounded by his loved ones at Peacehaven, Invercargill.

Cherished partner of Jenny. Loved father of Darryl and Rachel, Wynetta and Danny, Orlando* and Leah. Loved grandfather of Michael, Rachee, Hayden, Jess, Giahanni, Drome, Draylon, Joshua, Jaicie and Quintin. Loved by all of his great-grandchildren.

Tangi will rest at 35 Tiwai Road, Invercargill, with his whānau until his final journey.

We are incredibly grateful for the love, laughter and memories he gave us throughout his life. He will remain forever in our hearts.
