Kua hinga he tōtara nui i te wao nui Tāne! He uri nō Waikato, nō Hauraki, nō Maniapoto, o Ngāti Apakura, o Ngāti Te Wehi hoki.

He mokopuna ia nō te whānau Tūwhāngai. Kua wehe atu a Uncle Moari Stafford i te ao tūroa nei.

Ka hoki ai ia ki tōna hoa rangatira ā Jocelyn, ko ia te pāpā o Aron, Kelly me Iti. Te koroua o ōna mokopuna maha.

Kei Simplicity (449 Te Rapa Road, Te Rapa, Hamilton) ia e takoto ana i mua i tana wehenga atu (10:30am) i tenei ata kia hoki ai ia ki te whare o Aron ki Ngāruawāhia mō te pō kotahi. Tēnā, ka hoki ia ki Mōkai Kāinga Marae, Kāwhia āpōpō.

Hei tēnei Rāhoroi te 21 ō Poutū-Te-Rangi ka tū tōna rā nehu hei te 11am.
