Overview
Regan John McCormack (1988–2009) attended Otago Boys High School and, in 2007, began his Surveying studies at the University of Otago.
He had completed two and a half years of his degree when he drowned in the Otago Basin.
Regan was an “honestly good bloke” who loved life. His plaque carries the words: “I have walked these halls of learning, leaving wiser footprints behind.” R.I.P.
