The 17-year-old BMX rider and skateboarder would wear through his shoes “like fire”, father Vladimir Koninin said, following Kirill’s death on Christmas Eve.
On December 23, Kirill fell from his bike at a skatepark in Albany, suffering a head injury. Doctors at Auckland City Hospital later told Vladimir and mother Oxana Koninina that their son’s brain surgery had been unsuccessful, and the heartbreaking decision was made to turn off his life support the next day.
The family are hoping to dedicate a bench to Kirill at the park, in an effort to persuade others to wear helmets.
There's Governor Grey from Auckland University, Daisy from Waitākere Hospital, Bruce from Grey Lynn and more. Have you seen any of these pawsome felines out and about?
- it’s being collected tonight I think - if it’s a no show I’ll go to the next person that messaged me - mower works (my brother mowed my lawn for me 2 weeks ago) I just don't have the strength to get the damn thing started! Pick up from Beach Road Castor Bay.
Auckland has welcomed 2021 in with a bang, starting with a five minute firework display from the top of the Sky Tower at midnight.

“They have all been so supportive when I really needed it most. I wrote them all a personal letter to thank them.”
The 90 year old, who has spent his entire life in Christchurch, says his regular expenses are down due to village living and was immediately taken with the apartment opportunity after a tour.
“The security of this place appealed to me, and it was very warm. I also liked that there’s nothing to worry about, you don’t have to think about getting a plumber in for example.”
The couple’s two daughters and son helped them both move into the village, a downsizing that was far easier than Alan thought it would be. Now with a two bedroom apartment, Alan says he really enjoys having a dwelling more compact than his original family home.
“You’ve got to adapt haven’t you, and an apartment is just so easy to keep clean and tidy. I still have a small garden and I like to grow runner beans.”
With a wool buying background and a stint as a golf professional too, Alan has had a busy career but says he prefers the quieter life these days with enough social activities, like bowls and mahjong, to keep him entertained.
Alan helped to start a village choir that now has 24 members and regular practice sessions to prepare for upcoming recitals. The grandfather of five grandchildren and six great grandchildren (pictured with artwork from one of his great grandchildren Tabitha) says he’s always open to welcoming new residents as neighbours.
“To be free of all that worry of maintenance at my time of life is a relief. Plus we could do with a few more in the choir too.”
