Michael Neil BREINGAN

Both of us went to primary when he worked there. We both moved out of the school in 2019. Hearing the news that Mr B passed made us both tear up at the thought not thinking it was true, but we found out that it was and things just got really sad. Neither of us were in a class where he was the teacher but we saw him around the school, in assembly's and he taught our friends. He was the sweetest guy ever and we send our condolences. Rip. -Aldo and Anna

You were the best teacher ever and I had so much appreciation for you . I visited you a few months ago and we had a catch-up, feels like not that long ago I last talked to you. You were an awesome person and so fun to talk to , I can´t believe your gone - Boella room 5 2020

'The person who can bring the spirit of laughter into a room is indeed blessed' Bennett Cerf... but I think we were the blessed ones. Thanks for the many many laughs Michael. I'm sad that I didn't get the chance to work with you in old Room 4 again. It would have been a lot of fun. Thinking of your family at this time xxx

Our thoughts are with all of Michael's family after this terrible news. Michael was such a fun flatmate back in the early '90's and left us with some lovely memories. Gone way too soon.

We only just heard the devastating news today. Jo, Kirsty, Isaac & Ezra so very sorry for your huge loss. Our thoughts are with you. Love the Kininmonths x

To Jo and Kirsty, our deepest sympathies to you both. We remember Michael as a great mate at School and on the sports field. He was so friendly and full of fun. An all round really good guy, always engaging and encouraging. So sorry to hear this sad news. Best wishes to you both. Michael(Strings) and David Stringer from Christchurch.
