<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nBezuidenhout het die afgelope vyf jaar aan swak gesondheid gely en het in die bestek van \u2019n jaar altwee sy bene verloor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarna het hy verskeie gesondheid-uitdagings gehad. Bezuidenhout het vyf weke gelede ook \u2019n hartaanval gehad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cN\u00e1 die hartaanval het Jan se gesondheid baie vinnig agteruitgegaan, en hy is toe in die ho\u00ebsorgeenheid van Mediclinic in Bloemfontein behandel,\u201d s\u00ea Koekie (Elsab\u00e9) Bezuidenhout, sy vrou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bezuidenhout is gebore en geto\u00eb in die Goudveld en het op die plaas La Rochelle buite Welkom grootgeword. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy was \u2019n leerling aan die Laerskool St. Helena en het sy skoolloopbaan aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Goudveld voltooi. Daarna het hy heeltyds geboer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As voormalige Springbok-stoeier en -afrigter, wat vas geglo het dat di\u00e9 sportsoort \u2019n voertuig vir persoonlike ontwikkeling is, het hy 43 jaar gelede die Welkom-stoeiklub gestig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By di\u00e9 klub het Bezuidenhout as afrigter, beampte en voorsitter gedien. Jare lank was hy ook die voorsitter van die Noord-Vrystaat-stoeiklub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bezuidenhout het in die vroe\u00eb 90\u2019s deur middel van \u2019n ontwikkelingsprogram besluit om selfs hawelose en minder bevoorregte kinders afrigting in stoei aangebied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy bekwaamheid in di\u00e9 sportsoort het oor die jare verskeie Springbok-stoeiers opgelewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNaas ons kinders, klein\u00adkinders, agterkleinkinders en die boerdery het my pa gelewe vir stoei. Dit was deel van sy menswees en wese. Dit was \u2019n ingebore passie en liefde wat hy graag met almal gedeel het,\u201d s\u00ea Bezuidenhout se seun, Jan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Bezuidenhout-egpaar was 51 jaar lank getroud en het vyf kinders. Hulle is Jan en Piet Bezuidenhout, Elsab\u00e9 van Vuuren, Carol Fourie en Koba Beuken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die paartjie het ook 16 kleinkinders en drie agterkleinkinders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bezuidenhout se roudiens sal op Vrydag 26 Julie om 10:00 in die Lighuis-bediening in Welkom plaasvind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die diens sal deur past. Johan Taljaard gelei word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
