HAYWARD, Chris. Passed away peacefully on 26th July 2026, aged 68 years. With a heavy heart we say farewell to a Marist Man who travelled a long and fulfilled selfless journey giving immensely to the communities of Sacred Heart College, water polo, education, and the Tongan and Samoan fraternity. We pay our respects with prayer and farewell a man who, over many years, gave an extraordinary amount of his commitment, passion, and energy to the so many individuals that gave his life purpose and meaning. His generosity, leadership, and friendship touched countless lives and will be remembered with gratitude by all who knew him. Forever loved, deeply missed, and always remembered.

A memorial service will be held at Sacred Heart College Chapel, 250 West Tamaki Road Glendowie, Auckland, on Friday 31st July 2026 at 10-30am. For those unable to make the service there is a live stream, https://youtube.com/ live/Fq1eZ652Gts Confortare esto vir
