Harmsworth, Daniel James

On 1 January 2024 we lost our much-loved Daniel, wishing you were still here to share our lives, our love, laughter and having fun together.

Dearly loved son of Peter and Patricia Harmsworth. Much loved brother of Simon Harmsworth. Deeply loved and respected partner of Zene Krige of the past four years.

Special thanks to the St Johns Ambulance staff from Albany Auckland and the New Zealand Police.

In lieu of flowers, we would like to ask you to consider donating to one of the following bird sanctuaries that were meaningful to Daniel. 

In Australia, Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre. You could look to directly donate or "adopt" a bird to support their amazing work. 

- Balar was the cockatoo who bit a few of Daniel's shirt buttons off on our last visit. 
- Fluffbum wanted Daniel all to himself.

In New Zealand, Zealandia Te Mâra a Tâne Ecosanctuary have done great work to create a safe space for native species to thrive in the heart of Wellington. 

Daniel loved drinking coffee and then spending time with the takahe.
