"We are devastated to share the tragic news of Heath Wilkin’s passing over the weekend, the Founder and Managing Director of Golden Bay Fruit. Heath's loss is deeply felt across Golden Bay Fruit, the industry and the community, affecting us not only as a dedicated leader but also as a close friend and colleague.
"Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Lisa, his kids Tasmyn, Sydnee & Connor and his entire family during this incredibly difficult time.
"At Golden Bay Fruit, we are a close-knit family, and now, more than ever, we stand united to navigate through this challenging period.
"In honour of Heath’s memory, we are organising a funeral service this Friday 2.30pm at 77 Queen Victoria Street, Motueka. We would like to extend an invitation to those who would like to join us in celebrating his life and offering their farewells."
Your ongoing support and understanding are sincerely appreciated.
