Faulkner’s brother, Joshne shared an emotional message on his Instagram account.<\/p>\n

“Just the other day Junade called me and said ‘please come home, I\u2019m going away for college’ and I told him I\u2019m coming. . . but I never did. I\u2019m so sorry – if I knew that\u2019s going to be the last time I\u2019ll see you, I would have been there,” he wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joshne is a surfer from Pellsrus who was selected for the South African Junior Surf Team in 2014.<\/p>\n
