Sydney HOWARTH

Auckland

Posted 4 October 2026

HOWARTH, Sydney. Passed away peacefully on 29 September aged 88. Treasured husband of Dawn and loving father of Jon, Elaine and David, grandad of Sean and Marc and great grandpa of Mia and Ella. Loved by Evie and Courtney too. Our deep sadness at this loss is eased knowing Syd has been released from the disease that has crippled him for so long. Our thanks go to the kind and gentle staff at Radius Care Waipuna and to friends and family who have helped us on Syd's journey. We will always be grateful to you. God bless you darling Syd, until we are together again.
