WILLIE ESTERHUIZEN (FOUNDER)

 


1956-03-28 : 2020-10-17

For the 21 years that God gave Willie extra time since he took ill in 1999 (the year Guardian Angels were founded), he lived for God's work, for his club members and for the community.  Loved and respected by his members, he preached the Word as it was from the Bible, nothing less, nothing more.  He believed that, doing it in any other way, you are a false profit.  Some hated him for that, tried their best to lift him out of his seat as leader of Guardian Angels Mcc, but his firm believes kept him going till the end

He opened up his heart and everything he owned, to all of those that needed God's word.  Pietersdeel, the farm that he surrendered to God as basis for his work, became the clubhouse and Bikers Chapel for members and the community, and the annual CATS Rally was held here as tribute for God's grace. In 2020 we had the last rally, then came Covid19, and then Willie's departure October 2020.  He knew it was time, and said his goodbye's to family and friends in Namakwaland where he was born and raised,  came back and took his wife on a final meal for their 46th anniversary, then prepared for his operation.

God took him home at 21:00 Saturday the 17th October 2020.  His departure was sudden, and we morn his death, but rejoice his everlasting life!  Gone but not forgotten, and to God the glory!  

To Peet Schoeman (Kimberley) who is now taking over as National President, and Peet Malan (Far East) as National Vise-President - may God give you wisdom and passion for the road ahead
