I only met Vincent a few times but he made a real impact. He was very friendly and respectful to everybody. It was very cool that he played the guitar, and I remember when we went to the senior campus for production practice, When a student that I know walked past with a guitar on his back, Vincent said "You play guitar?" When that student said yeah, Vincent said " Oh chur that's so cool." Vincent was a very cool guy and he was nice to everyone and he had a lot of cool hobbies and interests. He was a really nice dude and I looked up to him in Kapa Haka. He was an inspiration and a leader.

So deeply sorry to hear of the passing of this special young man. My heart goes out to you all at this very sad time. You remain in my thoughts and prayers.

A beautiful service and tribute to a warrior. Nigel, Janelle and boy's sending all our love from Australia.

Ka aroha nui whaanau. Thinking of you all at this time. Vincent's light will be missed within our hapori xx

To Janelle, Nigel and family. I'm really sorry to hear about the passing of your son. Take all of that love and support from friends and family to help you through this time. My thoughts and condolences are with you. John

Going to miss our yarns in Māori and you stealing my drinks every time you saw me. Kia Kaha my friend, fly high 🕊️

So very sorry to hear your very sad loss Janelle and family. Sending buckets of love and support to you all at this time ❤️

Janelle & Nigel my heart breaks for you and your whanau. Vincent was such a respectful, caring young man with so much passion for his Kapa. I loved watching him lead his roopu with so much mana at Polyfest a few weeks ago. He was finally in the position he had been striving for and well and truly deserved. Fly High young man. Kia Kaha
