Found out today that a a friend of mine passed away on the 9th of Sept. Steve is a friend of mine, whom I met thru my colleague. Although I met him only a few times, he made an impression on me like no one else has.
A great soul, an instantly likable guy who will truly be missed by many in UK as well as here in New Zealand. Although I am disappointed the path he took, I cannot know what he was feeling that lead him to take his own life.
The relation of his death to New Zealand and Immigration is in the article (link) below.
Rest In Peace Steve Mitchell and we will miss you a lot. Please include him in your prayers.
