Die skielike dood van \u2019n tienerseun van Klapmuts laat \u2019n groot leemte in sy gesin en skoolgemeenskap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ugen Williams, \u2019n gr. 11-leerder aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Noorder Paarl, is vroe\u00ebr die maand oorlede nadat \u2019n aar in sy brein gebars het, vertel sy pa, Jesreel Johannes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy beskryf sy seun se dood as skokkend en hartverskeurend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was nooit siek nie. Hy was fris en gesond. Hy en vriende was verlede Saterdagmiddag by die huis toe hy skielik begin sleg voel het. \u2019n Vriend van hom het ons gebel en ges\u00ea Ugen voel nie lekker nie en ons het huis toe gejaag. Met ons aankoms by die huis het ons hom op sy bed aangetref, en hy het baie gebraak ook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het hom Stellenbosch-hospitaal toe geneem, waarna Ugen na die Tygerberg-hospitaal oorgeplaas is. Hy het \u2019n beroerte by die huis gekry. As gevolg van die beroerte het \u2019n aar in sy kop gebars en dit het bloeding op die brein veroorsaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy Tygerberg het dokters hom opereer om van die bloed op sy brein ontslae te raak. Hy het daarna in \u2019n koma gegaan en hy nooit weer wakker geword nie. Die chirurge s\u00ea hulle kan ook nie verstaan dat so \u2019n jong seun van sy ouderdom \u2019n beroerte gekry het nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Johannes was die beroerte so erg dat dit groot breinskade veroorsaak het. Dokters het aan die gesin ges\u00ea Ugen sal nooit weer dieselfde wees nie, want die breinskade was te groot. Hy het dit egter nie oorleef nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al wat die Johannes-gesin van hul kind oor het, is die mooie herinneringe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johannes s\u00ea Ugen se dood is baie swaar vir sy ma, Monique, en jonger suster, Jessnique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was \u2019n lekker mens om rondom jou te h\u00ea. Hy was een wat geluister het as jy met hom gepraat het en hy was lief om my en sy ma uit te tart, maar hy sal altyd daai liefdevolle persoon in my hart bly. Hy was ook baie lief vir musiek en dans. Hy wou \u2019n akteur geword het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ugen se begrafnisdiens het Saterdag (15 Junie) by die Nuwe Apostoliese kerk in Klapmuts plaasgevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ugen is daarna in Franschhoek ter ruste gel\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
