RIAN : BOKSBURG
9 March 1957 - 27 May 2006
Riaan had heart problems, but refused to let this keep him from enjoying life to the fullest. He had a heart attack on his bike, then stopped and had a second one. He passed away after two weeks in ICU, and we knew that God called him home. A respected member of his club, he whore the colours for a short while only, but made his mark - his absence will be felt.
"Don't cry and grieve for me, no, be happy : for my soul is free! Miss me for a while, but not for long - miss me, but please, let me go. For this is God's master plan."
