Darren Yates

October 12, 1972 - August 14, 2020

Darren Yates (Hura), passed away two years ago this year. Because he left us during Covid lockdown, very few of our whānau and friends could travel to be with us. His tangi and service were cut short, and few people had a chance to say goodbye. We created this page on the anniversary to give those who knew him the chance to share their stories and memories, especially those who wanted a way to acknowledge him at the time but couldn't. But even if you have only come to know him after he passed away, we'd love to hear your messages too (we know many have only come to know him through stories about him - Darren would love this!). We'll treasure every story and photo. Thank you... mā te kahukura, ke rere te manu!

I was one of Darren’s many cousins. I spent a lot of time overseas so unfortunately I didn’t know Darren well. However, I have really enjoyed reading and hearing all about Darren. My Dad’s memories of Darren- “Very clever and mechanical with his hands. Great company and especially remembers a great night out as once Darren relaxed he was good fun and very entertaining!” Uncle David & Beverley
