It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of David Trewavas.

David had a huge passion for rugby and was a loyal supporter of Taupō Rugby & Sports Club. His unwavering support and presence will be deeply missed, and his passing is a great loss to our community.

Our heartfelt thoughts and love are with Anna, his whānau, and all those who knew and loved him during this difficult time.

Rest easy, David. Thank you for everything. 🖤🤍
