David Te Maipi
Saturday, 20 July 1991 - Saturday, 9 January 2010
On 9 January 2010 David Te Maipi passed peacefully away in
his back garden in the afternoon sun.
David was a very active CanTeener in 2007 and 2008, he
attended National Camp in 2008 (Auckland) and 2009 (New
Plymouth). Many staff will remember him as he won the staff
cup at the 08 National Camp.
David also got to go on Jumpstart last year - which was
one of the things he wanted to do before he died - as well as
getting a tattoo on his back and his lip pierced.
David made the most of his last year and was very involved
in his college Kapa Haka group and got to go to his senior school
ball.
Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.
David will be greatly missed by all CanTeeners and
staff.

Hey i knew david from when he was younger, he was a friend of my younger brother reuben. I at the moment am about to enter into a campaign for canteen christmas cards and i came across this rememberance of david.
Id just like to say what an encouragement it was for me reading this, his acheivements though his struggling times was amazing and it has given me a boost towards helping out with canteen sponsorship.
I express my condolence for your family but at the same time celebrate the wonderful life he lived and the strength both you and your family have.
God Bless to you and your family.
