In Memory of Louis Rāpihana

He Aitua He Aitua

E oku rau Rangatira,

Kei te tangi hotuhotu te ngakau

It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the passing of Louis Rāpihana.

Louis has played a huge role within the heart of Toi EDA in the role of Māori and Pasifica Business Advisor. In the role he strived to encourage others to pursue their aspirations in community, culture and business ventures. Words can’t sum up the amount of mana Louis carried himself with and the impact he has had on so many people.

Within his time at Toi EDA, he has made and will continue to make a huge impact as an advocate and shining light for business owners throughout the rohe,

Sending aroha to his whānau, iwi and every single person he has inspired during this time.
