He was in the hostel from grade eight up to grade 12 and he was well known among his friends as someone that was always full of jokes and ready to play pranks.

Part of the first hockey team in grades 11 and 12, Heunis also played provincial hockey in grade 12. He was also one of the cheerleaders during Interhigh.

His mother, Sharon Liversage, described him as “loved by everyone”.

“He was always very friendly and he had many friends. He was a loyal child and he loved his sport, especially hockey.”

“Heunis was ‘n man met groot drome en ‘n mooi hart. Hy het altyd tyd vir sy vriende en vriendinne gehad en sou hulle altyd eerste stel. Hy was baie lief vir sy sport, en jy sou hom nooit sien stilsit nie. Sy liefde vir sy familie en gesin was besonders. Ek en Heunis kom al 21 jaar saam, en hy was, is en sal nog altyd my beste pel wees. Die pad is vir my swaar sonder hom. Ons almal sal hom onthou as die man met die mooi hart en groot glimlag wat altyd gelukkig was. Ek is so lief vir jou, Heunis.” – Biance.

The memorial service for Heunis Liversage will be held on Friday January 17 at the NG Kerk in Hoedspruit at 11:00.
