EDGAR, Michael:
Michael departed on his terms on 4 December 2025, before he had to see another hospital bed the next day. He leaves behind his family and friends, bewildered and a little shocked, by his sneaking out so quickly. Husband to Gaynor. Dad to Jason, Leah, Mee Moi, Mei Fong, and Ming Ming. Grandad to Gerard, Sam, Tom, and Maxine. Great-Grandad to Teequan, Jordan, Eira-Lae, Te Ao Kohu, and Ella. Brother to Chris with family Jane, Sacha and Simon. Cousin to Julie, John and Leo. Michael was a master of words as an advertising copywriter, loved music and wrote songs as well as jingles. He did not like tardiness as ads were measured in seconds. He was quiet, funny with sarcasm and dry wit added in different parts with traditional values based on a strong Catholic faith and a lover of hot spicy food until he hiccupped. His family and a few close friends were the main people he felt comfortable with. Thank you to Rowena Jackson staff (in particular, the Donovan team) and Dawn Acker. A private cremation was held with family members and a memorial will be held at a later date in Auckland. Donations can be made to Waikiwi Parish (Biller Name for payments to Sacred Heart Church).
A few words from his children:
I am grateful for the journey home and the time we had. Spinky-Sponk, Dad. (Jason) Dad has headed off on his last Needle Nydle Nuu - mission, straight into the land of Flimnapbadoyten and full Floshy-McToshy style. Jordan and I captured one last round of his nonsense verse in his final days. Carrot Soup! (Leah) Dad helped me, or M2 as he liked to call me, with polio exercises. Coincidentally the Easter Bunny had the same handwriting as Dad. (Mee Moi) Dad, unwavering support to your Polly…you were the best! (Mei Fong). I miss you Dad and how you took me to church. Love Mings (Ming Ming)
