Tom COATES Obituary

Tom passed away late morning on Tuesday, 23 January 23, 2024, at Nelson Hospital after an acute medical event late on Sunday night. His wife and family were at his bedside. Loving husband to Liz Coates for 49 years. Devoted father to Lara and Edwin Coates. Beloved grandpa of India Michaela, Noah, and Lily Amanzi Coates. Thanks to the wonderful ICU staff who cared for him in his final hours. A private gathering was held at his burial on 26 January 2024 at Havelock Cemetery.

To my loving husband:
2 Cor 5:8 - 'We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.'
