I am feeling completely guttered at the moment, as I have just discovered that the icon of my country has recently deceased.

Seriously, this guy was like a Titan. He was indestructible and such a hugely morally strong man...and now he's gone.
He was known for being the first man to ever climb to the top of the world with his companion, Sherpa Tenzing, but most notably, for the fact that after he acquired his fame, he did not dally and waste away in his fame or rot away in money, he built hospitals, schools, bridges and many other sorts of things to help the Nepalese and Himalayian communities become connected. He was so humble and was considered the Iconic Kiwi to which everyone looked up to.
Whatever you hear or think about this man or however trivial you might think he achieved, he still deeply deserves to be remembered.
