KING, John Arthur

It saddens us to announce that on August 8, 2022 John passed away at home peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. Much loved and cherished son of the late Jean and Eric King, adored partner of Vicki Jolly, dearly loved brother and brother-in-law to Karen and Ash Bradley, Dave and Sue King, Susie and Dave Hewitt, Merinda and the late Doug Cassidy, and Tonia and Russell Harding, step-dad to Tiana and Chris Jolly, and Poppa to Charlie. Much loved nephew, uncle, cousin, friend, and colleague. John died at the age of 68, after a battle with cancer. According to John’s wishes we will be holding a private family gathering.

Thank you to Hospice and Nurse Maude for your dedicated care. In lieu of flowers, it is the family’s wish that any memorial tributes be in the form of donations to the Nelson Tasman Hospice.
