RYAN; Michael George

On Sunday 19 January 2025 at Hospice Marlborough. Aged 82.

A fabulous husband, friend, soulmate and work mate to Jan Bilton/Ryan.  Great stepdad to Andrea O’Connor and Todd Bilton and best friend to their respective partners, Patrick and Rachel. ‘GPs and Mike’ to Alice, Emma, Johnny and Bruno. Very much loved by his Adelaide family: Trish, Sharon, Shaun, Mandy and Jessica.

A generous and fun-loving friend to many. What a battler! We will all remember Michael for his intelligence, wit, word skills — and his books.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to Marlborough Hospice Trust would be appreciated via its website.   Messages to Jan Bilton, PO Box 5015, Springlands, Blenheim 7241 or www.cloudybayfunerals.co.nz

At Michael’s request a private cremation has been held.
