❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's with the heaviest of hearts we share the news of our dear friend and former colleague Jason Husband's passing, after a short battle with cancer.

Jason was a good man. He joined our CLM Community Sport whanau in 2020, immediately becoming an integral member of our Healthy Active Learning team.

Forging strong relationships with Schools and kura throughout Counties Manukau, Jase worked really hard to provide equitable access to education, movement and enjoyment for tamariki out South.

He was a natural and simply put, our community loved him. He connected with students, related to educators and was a loud, proud advocate for projects that made a real difference for the schools he served.

Last year, when Jase announced he was shifting from our Community Sport team and taking up a new role within the CLM facility team managing Massey Park Pool - many of the schools Jase worked with shared not only how much they'd miss him - but how sad in particular the students he'd engaged with were to lose their friend. A testament to how genuinely good he was at his mahi.

Above all else, Jason will be remembered as a fun, happy, beautiful soul. We will miss his smile, his spirit and his commitment to service.

Our entire CLM team - both his Community Sport whanau and the wider Facilities group send our love and prayers to Jase's whanau and friends. We will always reflect fondly on our friend and are immensely proud of all he achieved and grateful for all he did during his time with us.

He kura tangihia, he maimai aroha. Moe mai ra, Chief. We love you.

Jase’s final farewell will take place on Monday 26th August 2024 at 1pm. This will be at the College Rifles Rugby and Sports Club (22 Haast Street, Remuera).

Whilst this is a funeral, Jase has a very clear vision of how he wanted everyone to be on the day – thus the dress code: “Go bright, be colourful, have fun"

All who loved him are invited to attend and celebrate his incredible life.
