In loving memory of Kupa Parata

Update: The family are all blown away with the outpouring of love and support from the community. To receive all your support in this way is so greatly appreciated and shows that the spirit of togetherness in our community is undeniably strong. Thank you to all X

On 28th August 2024, the Parata family and Coolum community unexpectedly lost an amazing young man.

It’s evident that Kupa had an immense impact on so many in his time here in Coolum and the support the community has shown during this tragic loss has been unwavering, from the Coolum Colts Rugby League Club, Coolum High School, friends and families.

It’s hard to comprehend the unimaginable loss Kupa’s family are feeling right now.

The family’s wishes are to send Kupa home to Aotearoa, NZ to his final resting place.

Any contribution will help ease the cost of putting Kupa to rest and saying their final goodbyes.

Thank you Coolum Community for uniting together during this heartbreaking time❤️
