Technical High School Kimberley het die volgende boodskap op sosiale media gedeel:
Our Tekkie family is shrouded in absolute grief and sorrow today. It is with unspeakable sadness and shock that we announce the tragic and untimely passing of our beloved, former learner, Jayson Afrique, Class of 2013.
We are truly at a loss for words. “Jowa” as he was affectionately known, was a wonderful, quietly naughty, popular learner, with the warmest, kindest, gentlest soul. He was exceptionally polite, humble and respectful and so loved by his teachers and learners alike. He was an invaluable member of the First Hockey Team, where he showcased his skills as a fantastic goalie and was just an all-round, salt-of-the-earth, great young man, with a heart of gold.
The only thing that Jayson loved more than cars, motorcycles and fishing, was his beautiful family. The Afriques’ will always have a special connection to our school as Jayson’s two brothers are also former Tekkies, great young men in their own right.
It all still feels so unreal. Death is never easy but the death of a young person, so full of life and love, is especially heartbreaking and traumatic. There was so much future and so much possibility that is now forever gone. This beautiful young life, full of promise, has ended in the horrific blink of an eye and we are left reeling in shock and confusion.
On behalf of the entire Tekkie staff, we would like to extend our sincerest condolences to Jayson’s parents, Vaughn and Sonia, his brothers, Wesley and Dillon, his lovely wife Micayla and the rest of his family and friends. Our hearts ache with yours.
Rest easy our Jowa, you are home now, precious boy. Burn some rubber up there in heaven for us and catch all the biggest fish you can with all the angels. May your beautiful soul rest in perfect peace. You will stay in our hearts forever and ever, we love you.
