Skokgolwe het deur die Bethlehem-gemeen\u00adskap getrek n\u00e1 die skielike dood van \u2019n welbekende inwoner in \u2019n motorongeluk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huldeblyke het van oraloor ingestroom nadat die 68-jarige Johan Scheepers, ook bekend as Skippies, op 14 April in \u2019n motorongeluk op die pad tussen Petrus Steyn en Heilbron dood is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 boorling van die Oos-Kaap wat in Alexandria groot geword het, het aan die Ho\u00ebrskool P.J. Olivier in Grahamstad gematrikuleer. Daarna het hy Landboukunde aan die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) in Bloemfontein studeer. Hy was \u2019n trotse inwonder van die Kiepersol-manskoshuis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As jong man was Scheepers \u2019n kranige rugbyspeler en hy het vir die o.20-Vrystaatspan uitgedraf. Dit is ook in di\u00e9 tyd dat hy die liefde van sy lewe en vrou, Estie, ontmoet het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scheepers het sy loopbaan by Sentra-oes begin en was 20 jaar lank \u2019n kontrakteur by die BP-maatskappy. Hy het by Vrystaat Petroleum afgetree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uit sy en Estie se huwelik is twee kinders gebore: Maretha Price (39) en Jan-Hendrik Scheepers (36), ook bekend as Jakkals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy familie beskryf hom as \u2019n familieman; \u2019n omgee-mens wat altyd ander mense se behoeftes bo sy eie gestel het \u2013 en hy was lojaal teenoor sy vriende. Hy was \u2019n hardwerkende man met \u2019n fyn sin vir humor, en bo dit alles was hy diep gelowig en het hy \u2019n sterk persoonlike verhouding met die Hemelse Vader gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scheepers was gaande oor sport, maar dit is rolbal wat hom die naaste aan die hart gel\u00ea het. Hy was 37 jaar lank by die Bethlehem-rolbalklub betrokke, het tien jaar lank as president van die klub gedien en was \u2019n erelid. Hy het ook as die president van die Riemlandstreek en Noord-Vrystaat-rolbal gedien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy lief vir lees en het Wilbur Smith se boeke geniet. Hy het \u2019n slag met plante gehad en was trots op sy pragtige tuin. Hy kon ook ure in sy werkwinkel deurbring, waar hy verskeie dinge gemaak het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSkippies was baie lief vir lekker steak, braaibroodjies, rooi en groen jellie met vla. Sy gunsteling-s\u00eading was iets wat ek nooit sal vergeet nie: Moenie aan ander doen wat jy nie aan jouself gedoen wil h\u00ea nie,\u201d s\u00ea Estie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scheepers se roudiens is Donderdag (21\/04) om 11:00 in die NG kerk Bethlehem-Noord gehou. Hy word deur Estie, kinders Maretha en Jakkals, skoondogter Janine en kleinseun Ruben Price oorleef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Estie was ten tyde van die onderhoud met longontsteking in die hospitaal in Bethlehem opgeneem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
