TOKANA-MAHUIKA, Keiran Atirau. One of our young team members at Awarua Synergy was in a tragic car accident and has passed away. Keiran was a bright light who took the time to make people feel happy. We can’t begin to comprehend what a huge loss this is to everyone who knew him. Keiran, you were one-of-a-kind and you have been taken from this world far too soon. The way you could get a smile out of anyone with your jokes and friendly attitude will never be forgotten. We appreciate your kindness and understanding while we work through this difficult time and re-book Keiran’s home assessments.
