Tributes

Missing & loving my dad. He was larger than life, wildly creative and had a great sense of humor. He threw the worlds best parties and the greatest pranks. He even taught my girlfriends & I how to drive diggers and trucks, but most of all he was a truly special dad. He was always the first to celebrate me in whatever I was doing. It didn’t take much to make him proud 🥰 I’m missing his stories, his snuggles & that special, special presence of his. In the words of Lynyrd Skynyrd, fly high free bird 🕊🕊 Everlasting love ♥️♥️

Brieana Thompson

Farewell to you lovely Jamie. My mum and Dad will be waiting for you in GT heaven - although they'll be very annoyed that you're cruising with them too damn soon! Lots of Love to Julie and the kids and Grand kids Carlene, Kev, Louis, Cate, Edna and Ethel xx

Jamie, I will miss our random chats and texts we shared while driving up and down the highways of NZ in my truck. You really made my day. So grateful to Julie and family that we got to say goodbye before you passed. You will not be forgotten. You always looked on the bright side of life. Wherever you are my dear friend keep ripping up the tarmac in your GT. Much love and respect to Julie and children. Murray Johnson

Mr Thompson! - My greeting to you when you called me - and your response - Mrs Johnson! Jamie we will miss you. You’re such a kind generous man of few words who doesn’t like the limelight. Such a trickster, inventor and visionary. You will leave such a huge void. Safe journey my friend - till we meet again. Much love to Julie, Carl and Brieana
