Timothy PHILLIPSON

Canterbury

Posted 26 June 2026

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved son and brother, Tim. Cherished son of Linda and the late Dave; adored brother of Nic, Sammy, and Liv; and brother-in-law to Caroline, Naomi, and Tom. A caring uncle to wee Margot, Freida, Claude, Theo, and Eliza. He was dearly loved by his cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Tim displayed extraordinary strength and resilience despite significant health challenges; the world is a lesser place without his beautiful smile, big loving heart and great sense of humour. Tim's funeral will be held at the South Chapel, Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park, Sydney, Australia on Monday, June 29, at 2.00pm AEST/4.00pm NZT. For livestream details, please contact Tom Fuller at tom.fuller@tommys.co.nz. A separate memorial will be held at South Brighton Surf Life Saving Club in Christchurch on Friday, July 24, at 2.00pm.
