At Tauranga Hospital on Thursday the 29^th of January 2026, Jeff ran his final race at the age of 79. Loved husband of the late Kay. Much loved dad of Mark,  adored granddad of Meika, and friend of Catherine. Treasured brother of Carol, Gary (deceased), Tony, Robyn; and their families. Jeff will also be sorely missed by Kay's wider family, his Resene and The Orchard families, and the many friends from the track to the tap. At Jeff's request, a massive knees up mother brown will be held and you are all invited. Once the finer details are confirmed they will be posted on Jeff's Facebook page. All communication to the Wilson Family, C/- Elliotts Funerals, 25 Ninth Avenue, Tauranga 3110 or 07-578 3338.
