Wellington fatal crash - statement from the family of Bailey Patmore

Attributable to Kelly McKnight, mother of Bailey Patmore:

It has been a huge shock to Bailey’s whanau at this sudden and tragic loss.

Bailey was a loving son, stepson, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend.

He certainly touched many people's lives in his short life.

Bailey was fun–loving, caring, lovable and cheeky.

He was dearly loved by us all.

The whanau have gathered in support and sadness to help ease the burden of such a huge loss.

Thank you to the many people who have offered help, kai, koha, support, love and kind words.

It is greatly appreciated.

We ask that the media respect our privacy to grieve and farewell our boy.
