Jude Stewart Death, a talented rugby player for Helpmekaar Kollege, has passed away unexpectedly, leaving the school and local sports community in mourning. Stewart, 18, was celebrated for his athletic skill, leadership on the field, and uplifting presence off it.
A standout member of the Helpmekaar rugby squad, Stewart earned admiration for his dedication, sportsmanship, and camaraderie. Coaches and teammates remember him as more than just a player — a supportive friend and a source of inspiration. “Jude lived for rugby and for his friends,” said one coach.
Born and raised in Johannesburg, Stewart balanced his studies with rigorous training and team commitments. Known for his integrity, humor, and generosity, he was often the first to help struggling teammates or lift spirits after a tough match.
Tributes have poured in from fellow students, coaches, and rugby supporters, reflecting on Stewart’s passion for life and the joy he brought to everyone around him. He is survived by his parents, siblings, and a wide circle of friends.
A memorial service and celebration of Stewart’s life will be held at Helpmekaar Kollege later this week, uniting the community to honor his memory.
