Francis Skiddy Marden, 41, was from Runanga.
He attended Rathkeale College in Masterton from 1983 to 1987.
His wife, Lauryn, left the following comment on our message board: "Good-bye my darling husband, beautiful man, amazing Father and best friend. Thanks to those that cared and have left messages for me. He died young, went out with his name in lights at a U2 Concert, for those that know my husband, that should give you a smile. Cheers Babe, love you for-ever, your wife Lauryn."
