CHAMPION, Mark Douglas

11.12.1969 - 6.9.2023 After an argument with cancer Mark slipped away at home in Dunedin surrounded by his loved ones. Loved and cherished husband and partner in life of Catherine (nee Smith). Precious son of Sue and the late Alan Champion . Loved son-in-law of Faye and Graham Jones. Brother and brother in-law of Lisa and Bevan Wilson, Julie and Lyndon Copeland, Pauline and Brett Jenkins, and Shona. Much loved Uncle and Great-Uncle to all his nieces and nephews. A special thanks to Roanne and Ruth, heart sisters of Mark and Catherine. A service for Mark will be held at the Southland Crematorium Chapel, 111 Rockdale Road, Invercargill, on Monday, September 11, at 1.30pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Otago Community Hospice, Dunedin (www.otagohospice.co.nz) would be welcomed. Messages to 407 Hillside Road, Dunedin 9012. As I walk through this season of sadness, my heart is still thankful - because I had a chance to know the incredible person that you were.
