Jacob Pakura will be farewelled tomorrow at a service in Henderson.
The Pakura family are incredibly grateful for the public support and assistance of the media over the past few days, but ask that media do not enter the building or grounds where his funeral will be held.
They ask if media film from a public place, this is done so from a respectful distance.
Jacob’s funeral is open to his family, friends and those who knew him. Those who stopped and rendered assistance to Jacob on Saturday night are also welcome to attend.
