BENNIE, Ewan:
It is with great sadness that the Bennie Family announce that Ewan passed away after a short illness in Dunedin Hospital, surrounded by his loving and adoring family, on August 10, 2024. A deeply loved soulmate and husband of Kathryn, a loved son of Athole and the late Helen Bennie, a dedicated, loving and protective father of Ruth and Kate who loved and admired him. Ewan never liked crowds, preferring the ocean, bush or mountains under his feet, where his ashes will be scattered, following a private cremation, exactly as he would like it. A charismatic man, Ewan would say, “he’s dead at the moment.”
