In Loving Memory of Tim Bray From Jessie Ohanlon I´ve been part of the Tim Bray Theatre Company since I was eight or nine years old - now I´m thirteen, nearly fourteen - and it´s been one of the most important parts of my life. I´ve done a bunch of shows over the years, including The Santa Show in 2023, and from the very beginning, I felt welcomed and supported. Tim Bray wasn´t just the founder of a theatre company - he was kind, warm, and full of heart. He made every young actor feel seen...

Darling , gentle , talented Tim , You have given such joy to so many over the years... all those children introduced to the magic of live theatre ... so many actors learning the unique challenges of an audience full of young children unafraid to interrupt ! I can´t believe you´ve been stolen from us all . The surprise guest at my hen night , a truly beautiful man . All our love to the whanau .. I know how much you cherished each other .

Your good heart and vibrancy will live on in memories of you Tim. You were an amazing human being, mentor and friend to so many, myself included. It was an honor to know you. Gone way too soon. Sleep peacefully dear Tim. My deepest condolences to all your loved ones. Pam Smith

Remembered and mourned by the Smart family. We have known the Bray family from before Tim's birth from our shared time in Kaikoura and visits in other locations around New Zealand. Condolences to Tim's immediate and extended family. Will be greatly missed by so many people.

Amazing Tim, such a wonderful, generous man who gave so much to so many. I was lucky enough to be part of Tim's plays in the earliest days of the Central Theatre, fun times! Giving joy and creative confidence to thousands of young people through theatre and through your many classes at TAPAC is the gift that will keep on giving. Tim you changed people's lives for the better , and that change will carry on throughout their lives and on to others. What a hero. Gone too soon that's for sure.
