The Whakatāne man was the first person confirmed killed after Monday's volcanic explosion. In January 2016, Paterson and his two boys went on a guided tour of Whakaari/White Island. My [youngest] son hit the water and a wave pushed him under the boat," Paterson said. A Givealittle page for young guide Jake Milbank, who suffered burns to 80 percent of his body has raised more than $89,000.
