It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of one of Papakura Rugby Football Club's most dedicated and respected members, Ross Mason.
Ross was the epitome of what it means to be a club man. Throughout his lifetime of service to Papakura Rugby, he held numerous roles including Club President, Club Captain, and many others, giving countless hours to ensure our club continued to thrive. His commitment, leadership, and unwavering loyalty to the black and red 🖤❤️ were second to none.
Ross dedicated so much of his life to our club and was immensely proud to be a member of the Papakura Rugby whānau. His presence on the sidelines, in the clubrooms, and within our rugby community will never be forgotten.
Respected by generations of players, coaches, administrators, supporters, and members, Ross leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire those who follow in his footsteps.
On behalf of everyone at Papakura Rugby Football Club, we extend our deepest condolences to Ross's family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.
