MAGILL, Robert Patrick (Pat)

29 September 1926 —
30 April 2023
Pat passed away peacefully at his home on April 30, surrounded by whanau. Loved husband of the late Catherine, and loving, inspirational father to Jan, Mary-Anne, Rob, John, Tim and Jesma. Devoted Poppa to the late Bailey, Ash, Jerri and Travis Magill, and cherished partner to Helen Lloyd. On Tuesday May 2 Pat’s life and mahi were celebrated with a Hikoi. Departing from his “office on the street” outside The Pie Man in Maraenui, Pat, his whanau, friends and “foot soldiers” were welcomed onto Pukemokimoki Marae 1.1kms away, for a day of tributes and festivities. After spending the night on the marae, a service was held at 11.00am. Pat was accompanied on his journey to a private cremation and a Haakiri followed at the marae. A social justice activist and environmentalist, Pat lived a unique life to the max, full of aroha and a fierce determination to contribute to the community he valued so much. He would welcome donations to Napier Pilot City Trust http
