The Rangi whānau are heartbroken to share the unexpected passing of our beloved Wiki Te Ahu Nopera Toa Rangi, affectionately known as "Son Son". Wiki was deeply loved by his parents, Wiki and the late Janet. He was a devoted brother (and brother-in-law) to Suzanna (Suzy), Janet (JJ), Dave, Haki, and Shannon. He was also a cherished uncle to his five nephews and four nieces, as well as a grand-uncle (Koro) to Mikaere. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating Wiki's incredible life, his passion for sports, his amazing kindness and his wairua. Wiki's service will be held in Heretaunga Community Church, 51 Lane Street, Upper Hutt, on Friday, 16 January 2026, at 11.00am, followed by a private cremation.
