Mark Anthony Coles

COLES, Mark Anthony.

Passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus on November 27, 2023. Son of the late Frank and Irene Coles of Ongaonga, loved brother of Cherie and David Cooke, and the late Janet and Anton Koenders. Dearly loved husband and best friend of Addy (Ingrid) for 56 years. Adored father, father-in-law, and role model of Kate and Aaron, Nancy and Dave, Shirley and Gary. Treasured grandfather of his dearly loved grandchildren: Ben and Samantha, Emily, Annah, Jack, Finn, Poppy, Theo (Lily), Sophie, Charlie and Violet. Especially remembered for his devotion to God, his precious love of Addy, family, friends, and the time he invested in playing games with his younger grandchildren. Mark was extremely dedicated to building houses and loved sharing his knowledge with anyone who’d lend a listening ear. Well done Mark!

We’ll miss you sweetheart, but we know you’re in the best place ever, with the One who loves you most. We look forward to seeing you again. God bless you! A celebration of Mark’s life will be held at the Village Baptist Church, 147 Te Aute Road, Havelock North on Saturday, December 2 at 9:30am. Messages to the Coles Family, C/o PO Box 439, Napier 4140.
