2026

Died 21 July 2026Posted 28 July 2026

John passed away at Nelson Hospital on July 21, 2026, which seems very fitting as he spent most of his working life there. John was sad to leave his wife and best friend Judy; his girls, Kelly and Amy Rowland. Grandchildren Amber and Micheale Rowland; Lachie Lamb and Katie Lamb, who had gone before him and has been patiently waiting for him to arrive. Great-grandchildren Lacie Lam and Kingsley Rowland. Brothers-in-law Raymond and Kevin Roberts. To all the amazing people who have supported us through this journey, thank you. Special thanks to family, friends, neighbours, health professionals and St John. It was John's wish for a private cremation but you are welcome to message Judy - jajcwilliams@xtra.co.nz or 27 Coster Street, Enner Glynn 7011.
