Damian KORTINK Obituary

I ended up meeting Damian in Bergen Op Zoom in the Netherlands where I stayed for a year in 93/94.
As a fellow Wellingtonian we bonded straight away and hung out every weekend. I can still picture his big voice singing along to MTV. He taught me a lot about Dutch life and culture and had a great knowledge of world events and history. Years later I caught up with him a few times when he was working at the Dominion and we carried on where we left off with more great conversations and belly laughs.
My sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
He was taken way too soon.
RIP my friend.

RIP Damian

Devestated for your friends, family and other colleagues.

I'll always remember your bellowing laugh, your whistle down the halls, and your Interesting stories and conspiracy theories, as well as your cup of teabags in the canteen and your newspapers in the locker room.

The Dom won't be the same without you mate.

You will be sorely missed Damian, with your wicked sense of humor and larger than life personality, the plateroom will never be the same without you and I'm going to miss our little chats. RIP my friend and condolences to your family.

So sad to hear the passing of Damian, who we knew as Big D.We worked,flated and partyed hard together in the UK. So many great memories. Rest in Peace Big D

Oh such a sad loss, only met Damian a couple of times but we shared many a message in our respective roles.
Loved his humour.
RIP mate

You will be missed Damián along with your larger than life personality and your singing from the plateroom.RIP and much love to all your family.

RIP big bro. You will be sorely missed. Keeping me sane and teaching about the publishing will always be treasured . Your personality was true mate and your integrity sincere for all who you crossed paths with .
Until we meet again .

We will always remember Damian for his big personality, laughter and positivity.
Damian was a huge presence around the Petone print site and we will miss him dearly.

Rest in peace Damian.

such sad news..thinking of you all

Damian was a wonderful neighbour. Whenever I saw him out working on beautifying our property, we would chat about politics and the state of the world. He was so knowledgeable.
He loved our neighbourhood and his house. He enjoyed the peace and quiet here with quality neighbours who looked after each other.
He was a treasure.
I am so sad he's gone. I couldn't wish for a nicer, kinder person to live next door to.
Thank you Damian for all you did to make our homes beautiful. It was a pleasure to have met you and to have known you. You really will be missed.
Much love to your family.

Rest in love my dear friend. Thank you for guiding me and teaching me all the tricks of the trade for photolithography. I will cherish all the funny stories about your crazy, fun life you had shared with me. I'm going to miss your random belts of song through our hallways, but most of all I'm going to miss having someone to talk to and give advice.

Your life was a blessing,
Your memory a treasure,
You are loved beyond words,
and missed beyond measure

Until we meet again my friend - R.I.P XXX

Our heart felt sympathy goes to you Mark, Cheryl and Jayne. We are thinking of you and your families. May Damian be resting in peace.
Mary, Trish, Helen and Mandy.

E mhoi ana tku hoa, ki te roa o Totara e t ana koe, he nui rawa ng pmahara o ng w pai i tiria e mtau, he tino aroha ki te katoa.

Good bye my friend, as tall as a Totara you stood, so many memories of good times we shared, much love to all.
