Denis John Jacques

Passed suddenly at home on October 30, aged 83 years.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Denis.

A much-loved partner to Ngaire; father to Michael, Alan and Colleen; grandfather to Gemma, Georgie, Mikaela, Jordan and Xavier; great grandfather to Isabelle, Jack, Maddie and Stevie; and brother to Deidre, Pearl, Ted, Cherie, Cushla, Kerry, Ian and Heather.

A Blenheim boy to his core, he is already missed. But ever considerate, he gave us the small consolation that in passing after a stroll through his beloved Wither Hills he left doing what he loved best.

A private cremation is to be held. A memorial service will be held at a date yet to be announced.

Tribute from Jessie Dredge
Ngaire, and family, I’m so sorry to hear of Uncle Denis passing.
Mum told me Uncle Denis had passed away, and it brought back a lovely childhood memory
I remember going to the bookshop with grandad looking to see if there were any Little House on the Prairie books
It’s only a small memory, but one I’ll always treasure
Love to you all
