Today we farewelled a team mate, a true warrior and much loved friend.
Yo, your passion and love for our sport was contagious and evident every time you spoke about it. You drew people in with your stories and vast knowledge and you were so unashamedly honest right to the end.. These are just some of the endearing qualities your Taranaki Dragon family will miss greatly, and were talked about today as we gathered to say goodbye to you.
There is a big hole within our club tonight, and a seat in the boat that will be forever yours.
Yo we will remember your fierce support of Taranaki Dragons and your dedication to Taranaki Pinks.
Sleep easy our beautiful Yo, you've paddled your final regatta, it's time to put your paddle down and rest.
