The Hill whānau would like to acknowledge the love and support that has been given to us, as we continue to struggle through the tragic and unexpected passing of our beloved and cherished Joel on the 21st of December 2025 aged 25. We have witnessed how much Joel has impacted the wider community as much as he has impacted our lives. There are no words to express how grateful we are for the love and support we continually receive; it has been very overwhelming for us all, but very much appreciated. It goes without saying that Joel will be dearly missed and loved by all, as we as a whānau will continue to honor, remember and speak of his name “JOEL” aka Our Baby. With much love from the Hill whānau.
