Many people across Auckland have taken to community Facebook groups in the wake of news of One Dread's death.

Others spoke about seeing him around Karangahape Road in the early 2000s.
"An icon of K Road growing up, bet he's seen some things over the years."
"Holy smoke, he is an eternal legend. I thought he was gone ages ago, then randomly saw him a month ago... what interesting stories he could've shared."
