Ivan HAPE Obituary
28.6.1928 - 13.3.2026
Haere rā e te rangatira, e te pou o tō whānau me tō iwi. Haere ki te kāinga o ngā tūpuna. Moe mai rā i roto i te rangimārie. With deep sadness, our family announces the passing of Ivan Hape, our much loved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and respected kaumātua of Ngāti Kahungunu ki Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua. Ivan is survived by his wife, Theo, his children Diann and Tony, his grandchildren Jordan, Matthew, and Aaron, and his great-grandchildren Manaia and Taina. His daughter Josephine predeceased him.
He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Ivan will lie in repose at his home, 181 Aerodrome Road, Dannevirke. Those wishing to pay their respects are welcome between 10.00am and 5.00pm on Sunday 15th and Monday 16th March. Karakia will be held at 7.00pm on Sunday and Monday evening, followed by poroporaki on the final evening. A service to celebrate Ivan's life will be held at St Joseph's Catholic Church, Allardice Street, Dannevirke, on Tuesday, 17 March, at 1.30pm, followed by burial at Kaitoke Urupā.
Haere rā e te rangatira.
Haere, haere, haere atu rā.

It is with our weeping hearts that we hear of your passing. Sadness also that we cannot be there with you and your whanau.
We spent many times together, that allowed us to walk alongside a gentleman with an aura of grace, wisdom and charm.
A quiet and respected man trusted to those with unquestionable honesty, duty and care. Attributes carried by a worthy Rangatira.
No reira Ivan, haere atu ra ki a ratou ma i roto i te ao wairua. Haere, haere, haere atu ra.
