Volgens personeel by die kliniek het hy \u2019n beroerte gehad, gevolg deur nog \u2019n erger beroerte. Sy skoonseun wat saam met hom werk, het gesien hoe hy inmekaarsak en hom na die kliniek geneem, maar Oom Johnny is met hul aankoms daar dood verklaar,\u201d verduidelik Jansen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>De Koker is al menige jare by atletiek in Ashton betrokke, en het die klub in 2018 saam met haar en Jansen se pa, Jacobus Jansen, gestig. Hy het as voorsitter oorgeneem toe Jacobus in 2020 oorlede is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verder verduidelik Jansen dat De Koker \u2019n ware staatmaker was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf dit nou vir die familie of die klub was, kon \u2019n mens altyd op hom staatmaak. Hy was ook \u2019n staatmaker in die gemeenskap en as hy jou kon help, dan het hy jou gehelp. Hy was ook baie betrokke by die kerk. Hy was ook \u2019n lekker grapperig mens en het naweke gebruik om seker te maak dit gaan goed met sy familie. Hy was \u2019n steunpilaar vir sy vrou, hul dogter en hul drie seuns.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jansen s\u00ea De Koker se dood het sy familie hard getref.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDie familie is gebroke. Soms voel dit asof hy net gou \u00earens heen is en dat hy gou weer terug sal wees, maar dan slaan die werklikheid toe en die hartseer begin van voor af. Hy het geen kroniese siektes gehad en was ook nie ten tyde van sy dood siek nie.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASHTON \u2013 \u2019n Bekende in atletiekkringe en
