To my brother Warren
First of triplet boys, 20 minutes older than me but growing up wise behond your years.
You carried yourself through life with pride and dignity, a high achiever in every respect both in your work and personal life.
You were taken from this world just far to soon, I always dreamed that one day we would reconnect, but sadly now there will be no hello,s, goodbyes, or reconnections, sharing long awaited time again as triplet brothers.
I will miss you mate, you are with me always in mind and spirit,
With love always
Mark.

Such a tragedy. My heartfelt condolences to Warren's Family. Although I have only met him a few times while he was staying with his brother Brent in Bell Block New Plymouth, he impressed me as being a true gentleman with a kind and generous heart. I have experienced his cooking skills and of course his great sense of humour. I know he will be sadly missed by many people. Rest in Peace Warren

My Triplet Brother Warren (Wally) by 10 minutes. You were more than a Brother, you were my Idol, someone I always looked up to, you were my World. I'm still trying to accept your sudden passing Mate. I still don't want to accept the fact that you are no longer with me, but as reality sets in and as each day passes I will begin to accept it more. You did everything right, worked hard from such a young age, got married, brought your first home, raised your family, you were always there for your family, your boys were everything to you. You were a professional Tradesmen and Business owner. Your professionalism and dedication to your trade earned you the respect that you earned and so much deserved. Your humour and wit has been engraved in so many peoples hearts who had the opportunity to get to know you and understand who you really were. A Fly Fishing enthusiast who found piece and tranquility on the river, doing what you loved best presenting that fly to a hungry mouth, heart pounding, and strike, the battles on, you enjoyed the thrill of the fight, and the satisfaction of landing the fish, and then returning it back to the wild knowing full well it will be there for another day. My Future and the future for so many people has been changed forever through this Tragic and Sad Event. I know my life without you in it Wally will never be the same. I love you so much and have always loved you as being a triplet I've not only lost a brother, I've also lost apart of myself. I'm sure there is some wonderful Rivers through those Golden Gates, stocked with Trophy Fish. Don't catch them all as at some stage i will join you for a fish. You will always be with me as I will always be apart of you Rest in peace Mate. Your Loving Brother Brent .

So sorry to hear of Warren's passing much love and respect to all the family

Dear Lorraine and family, what an absolute shock to hear the news of warrwns passing what a tragedy.
My heartfelt condolences go out to all the family and extended in this tough time.
Warren gave me the time and effort as a raw 17 year old and gave me a crack and offered me an apprenticeship at aotea, he was a great man with a big heart and would do anything for anyone and had a great sense of humor. What a absolute shock

RIP warren

To Warrens Family, my sincere condolences to you all. I worked at Alliance Mataura Plant and got to know Warren. We shared many laughs, his Xmas Caramel tarts, tipples in the Dugout!!! He always went the extra mile and if you needed anything electrical made he was the expert. So many great memories, RIP Warren💖

Lorraine and family,
I was deeply saddened to hear about your loss. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
I met Warren when he was my Electrical support in Carbon at Tiwai. He was a reliable, hard worker and very thorough with every job he attended to. He always dropped everything to assist with breakdowns whenever we requested his support. His sense of humour always made me laugh, and I really enjoyed working with him. He was always talking about his boys and was very proud of how well they were doing.
I remember we were working on Christmas Day. Warren cooked Christmas dinner for the Carbon Bake team and even wore his chef’s hat and shirt—a reflection of his professionalism in everything he did.
“Rest in peace, Warren”—you will be missed.
With deepest sympathy,
Daniel Oosterbroek

Dear Warren our friend x thank you for everything you did for us and for the laughs we had. Every caramel latte I make now for customers will never be the same. I will always see your face and remember you. Fly high awesome friend. You will never be far from our hearts. It was an honour to meet your family today. Be free always love Graham and Deirdre - Athol

Love to the family Diane McLean, Keryn, Angela and families

Hi Lorraine and family. I was saddened to hear of Warren’s passing.
My prayers are with you all. Stay strong and keep the family close. I know he will be in your thoughts forever.
Sorry I was unable to attend Warrens funerals service today. Have watched it on line. It was a beautiful send off for him.
Regards

Extending my deepest sympathy to all the family at this sad time, may he rest in peace.

Lorraine and family, sincere condolences, It was such a shock to hear the tragic news of Warrens death. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

Huge shock for us. Meticulous and neat, his workmanship was always top standard as if it was his own house. Has wired our new house from scratch and was almost finished. Very thoughtful and logical ways of working and thinking of the aesthetic outcome always. He gave opinions on the decor as well as he had an eye for decorating. We will really miss his friendly conversations about all sorts of things. So sorry for his family left.

Very sad to hear of Warren's sudden passing. He was a great guy. He used to come into the Mataura Alliance store & say "How are u going kids?" The reply back was, "good father". Your sense of humour & dedication to your work will be missed. Rest easy - tight lines.

I remember first meeting Warren over 38 years ago, as my sister's Beau, then Husband, and then Father of three boys.

Dedicated to his work, and providing for his family what he had not had himself growing up.

Through this tragedy I hope those left behind can pull together, strengthening your bonds, valuing the time that you have, and supporting each other.

My deepest sympathy to Lorraine and family at this tragic time.

Warren, the most obliging man. You were a very skilked and efficient electrician and always went out of your way to help us. Your love for your family was evident in all your conversations. We loved your excitement for the rare finds in life. Xxx Kat & Blair McIntyre and family

Sending Warren's family and friends our deepest condolences. We are so sad to hear of his sudden death. We met Warren over 10 years ago when he first did some work for us at the Cafe. He was a really nice good hearted man.
A great electrician, fisherman, cook and friend to all of us in Athol.
Sorry we wont be there to pay you our respects.
Tight lines Warren you will be deeply missed by many.

We were shocked to hear of Warren's passing. He has been our electrician for the last fifteen or so years. He was a breathe of fresh air. No job was too big or too small. He was a true professional. Our sympathies to all his family.

Warren was our Invercargill agent when I worked for DORMA based in Christchurch . Initially it was with Aotea Electric and carried on with Area South. I always looked forward to my service run down south and enjoyed meeting the alert and bubbly man and his team.
The years have passed and I have moved on in jobs but still in the electrical game. Occasional interaction with Warren on FB or just seeing his posts, generally showing off a trout, were always something to enjoy.

How does that song go? “Only the good die young” - I wish it wasn’t so, he’s left a gap in my life but will always be remembered.

To the family: my condolences.

My most sincere condolences to Lorraine, and her family. The tragic news of Warren's death was more than just a shock to me. I always enjoyed working with Warren, and I have many good memories. Warren was a good friend, and I always enjoyed catching up with him.

A really great tradesman, with a massive heart, and always some good advice.

We're gonna miss you Warren. Rest easy mate.

One of life's true gentlemen. RIP Warren

My brother Warren (Henry).....your unexpected passing has left a void for so,so many.

Your boys were your everything!! You worked hard for them and dreamed big. You loved your niece as your own.

You were a true professional, and held in high esteem by so many, you excelled in your profession a testimony to who you were and how you did your work.

An outstanding fisherman, whose heart and soul was connected to and part of the Athol community, a place you loved.

Our friendship over the past 17 years has been one of the biggest blessings in my life.

I remain as proud of you as you were me.

Love ya to bits 🧡
