The two-year-old son of former Springbok and Stormers and EP Kings<\/a> player De Wet Barry and his wife, Marcelle, died in hospital from a lung-related illness yesterday, 20 December.<\/p>\n

Barry captained the EP Kings<\/a> side and in our minimal interactions always struck me as the most polite and gentle soul. On occasion he would have his son with him and his joy and pride in that bundle of joy was palpable.<\/p>\n

To lose a child is a parent\u2019s greatest fear \u2013 that it has happened to Barry must be devastating to him and family. Our hearts go out to De Wet as we quietly send him our prayers and deepest sympathy.<\/p>\n

Words cannot describe our sadness… Our deepest sympathies and condolences to De Wet and Marcel Barry on the passing of little DJ.<\/span>20 December 2011 8:49 am<\/a> via Twitter for BlackBerry\u00ae<\/a><\/em>Reply<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/em>Retweet<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/em>Favorite<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/a>
