Familie, vriende en leerders van die Ho\u00ebrskool L\u00fcckhoff het die afgelope Donderdag (25 Julie) by \u2019n gedenkdiens van Tristan Willemse (16) afskeid geneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Seun \u201cwat jy deur \u2019n ring kon trek met \u2019n lekker lag en energie wat aansteeklik was\u201d \u2013 dit is hoe mede-leerders Tristan sal onthou nadat hy dood is toe hy en vriende Sondag 14 Julie \u2019n rit onderneem het. Die groep het op die R44-aansluitingsbrug in Somerset-Wes in \u2019n ongeluk beland, wat Tristan se lewe ge\u00ebis het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was altyd bereid om ander te help,\u201d het Haylene Lawrence vertel. Haylene het ges\u00ea Tristan het \u2019n skerp sin vir humor gehad en was die een in hul vriendekring wat toegesien het dat almal n\u00e1 \u2019n kuier veilig by die huis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeslin Joubert het Tristan se geliefdes in haar boodskap bemoedig om hul goeie herinneringe oor die jong man te koester en te onthou watter lig hy in hul lewe was. Joubert het ook haar eie herinneringe van Tristan en hul dae saam by die Sondagskool gedeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns moet daar wees vir mekaar. Dit is iets wat Tristan altyd uitgeleef het. Hy het dit nie net in sy geloof uitgeleef nie, maar ook in sy liefde vir God. Hy het almal altyd met \u2019n glimlag gegroet, al het hy self \u2019n slegte dag gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWanneer jy hom sien aankom het, het hy reeds geglimlag. Sy geloof was alles en hy het die lesse wat hy Sondae ontvang het, uitgeleef. Hy het selfs Vrydae ander jongmense saam na die jeugsaamtrek gebring,\u201d het Joubert verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skoolhoof, Chris Jooste, het die leerders aangemoedig om die beste van die res van die jaar te maak. Volgens Jooste was Tristan op pad om akademies goed te vaar en het homself uitge\u00addaag om in die tweede helfte van die jaar nog beter te vaar. \u201cHy was \u2019n jongman wat homself laat geld het. So jonk soos hy was, het hy opgestaan vir dit waarin hy geglo het. Ek het die seun gesien met lang sokkies, \u2019n kortbroek en sy baadjie \u2013 jy kon hom deur \u2019n ring trek,\u201d het Jooste ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het bygevoeg Tristan was \u2019n trotse en waardige leerder van L\u00fcckhoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tristan het by sy grootouers gewoon en volgens hulle is die verlange steeds groot en die aanpassing om hom nie in die huis te h\u00ea nie, bly \u2019n groot aanpassing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tristan is Saterdag vanuit die Idasvallei Calvynse kerk ter ruste gel\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
