Dale Godfrey Obituary

Dale Godfrey (Christchurch, South Island) passed away on August 29, 2026. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his spouse Kirsty; his children, Zach, Sayler and Cassie; his parents, Ivan and Joan; his parents-in-law, Michael, Sue, Kathy and Steve; his siblings, Cheryl (Andy), Lindy (Gavin) and Mark (Kay); and his nieces and nephews, Erin, Niall, Jayme, Kate, Logan and Gabby.

In lieu of flowers, it was Dale's wish to set up a fund through The Willowbank Foundation that will support other families going through illness, or trauma, by giving them a sponsored day out at Willowbank, the Antarctic Centre, or another partner organisation.
