UEANIKARAKA, Tenanorake, Our beloved drew his last breath in Auckland Hospital on Thursday, 26th February 2026 at 1.26pm, aged 37 years. His loving spouse, Ereti Birati, by his side. A cherished partner, brother & uncle. He was a devoted catholic, a musician, hardworking, family-oriented and incredibly selfless. Because of his service, generosity, kindness, and ability to make everyone laugh, he was adored by many and will always be remembered.
