Such an amazing, thoughtful and fun person. Thinking back on my memories of Ivan brings a huge smile to my face - such a character who will always be cherished by our group of friends. All our thoughts and wishes are with you all. Love the Mules’

Such a beautiful ceremony to represent a man so full of life. Rest in Love Ivan my Godfather and enjoy your fishing with my Mum in paradise. Sending all my love to my Godmother Lynn & all the family. Michelle (Missy) xox ❤️

So many beautiful memories, you were like a father to us. Your smile and happy energy were contagious and your support and love will be never ending. Countless memories of the families around the dining table, enjoying delicious feasts, cooking on the spit, fishing on the boat. Young memories introducing me to bees at Micro world, camaros, synthesizers and guitars; you were pretty cool. Thank you for being a great uncle and you will be missed dearly. Lots of love to Lynn, Stef, Bianca and Laura in these difficult times. Sorry I won't be there to celebrate your life alongside all the singing delis. Lots and lots of love always, Tony and Courts xoxo

We are very sorry about your loss. Sending healing prayers, love and comfort during this tough time.

To Laura Paul and Gus Myra and Loala We are sorry to hear about your loss and are sending all our love from the Team at Tutukaka Holiday Park and of coarse your mates Butch and Colleen xxx

I wish Ivan's family all love at such a time of loss. Their love for each other will be enough. The waves of grief will ebb and flow and take them by surprise at times. Go with it and remember all the times Ivan was with you.
