<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cOns besef nou eers die invloed wat hy op die gemeenskap gehad het. Hy was baie lief vir ons en ons was baie lief vir hom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronelle van Rensburg, Jacques se een suster, s\u00ea hulle was \u2019n klein, maar hegte, gesin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns harte is baie seer. Ek was baie lief vir hom.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea sy het groot waardering en bewondering gehad vir sy sakevernuf en sy ongelooflike kreatiwiteit. Wat sy van hom sal onthou, is hoe hy altyd \u2019n ding op sy manier gedoen het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het altyd \u2019n plan gesien lank voordat ander daaraan gedink het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pine Pienaar, groep- uitvoerende bestuurder van Human Auto en vriend van Jacques, s\u00ea hy gaan hom baie mis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy visie vir sakebedrywighede en alles waaraan hy sy hand geslaan het, was vir my \u2019n inspirasie. Niks was ooit te veel vir hom om vir die gemeenskap te doen nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die grootste manne-aand wat die Vrystaat tot nog toe gesien het, het Jacques homself onmiskenbaar gewys as \u2019n man wat nie net vir sy besigheid geleef het nie, maar ook vir die mense. Hy het teen Dricus du Plessis, w\u00eareldkampioen in gemengde \u00adgevegskuns, geveg om geld vir die Ho\u00ebrskool Pres. Steyn in te samel \u2013 \u2019n daad wat sy hart vir die gemeenskap weerspie\u00ebl het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chrisel s\u00ea sy het opgekyk na haar pa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk weet nie wie ek is sonder hom nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacques word ook oorleef deur sy ma, Christa, en sy ander suster, Ther\u00e9se Delport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die lewensviering vind op Sondag 16 Februarie om 11:00 by Be Human op die plaas Middelwater plaas. Die familie vra dat almal vrolik en kleurryk aantrek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
