On August 2, 2025, peacefully, after a short and courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by his girls at home, just as he wanted, aged 42 years. Deeply loved husband of Kylie, adored father of Lily, and Mady. Cherished son and best friend of Mike, adored and loved by Charmayne, and a deeply loved and respected grandson, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. In lieu of flowers, the whÄnau kindly asks that donations to Nurse Maude Hospice would be appreciated, and may be made online at nursemaude.org.nz/donate. Messages may be addressed to: The family of the late Tony Clarke, c/- PO Box 39001, Christchurch 8545. A celebration of Tonyâs life will be held at Wai-mana, 92 Kippenberger Avenue, Rangiora, on Thursday, August 7, at 2.30pm, followed by a private cremation.
Return and take your place amongst the stars Tony, among your ancestors that adorn the sky. Your infectious smile and laugh will still echo round the Kate Valley Landfill, where you will always be a part of our hearts and whanau. A wonderful person taken far too soon. Deepest sympathies to Kylie, Lily and Mady, and all of your extended family.Jill Evans
