Tragic end to search Marti Will
DEAR Steven. I created this page as a tribute to you and the astounding, ongoing positive influence you have had on the lives of so many people. I feel that this could be a forum for those who miss you as you will always be in our hearts. – David Pridgeon On Tuesday evening Steven’s good friend David created the Facebook page Never Forget Steven Wessels. Steven’s body was found in Toronto Pan in Lakeview, Welkom. Steven had been missing since last Monday evening when he had left home after spending the Easter weekend with his father and family. Steven was a student in Mechanical Engineering at the Central University of Technology in Bloemfontein. His abandoned car was discovered by gardeners at the St Andrew’s School where he had left it in Limpopo Road. They reported the vehicle on Thursday morning, even though it had been parked there from Monday night. Extensive searches were launched which included friends on horseback, the police helicopters, the K-9 dog unit, quad bikes and even hikers on foot. The grounds around the area and the pan were scoured for clues, but to no avail. His sister, Nicola Wessels (32), fell from her horse during the search on Friday. Her elbow was fractured. She has since been operated on. All possible leads were followed up. The cell phone detective Leon Rossouw was consulted. He confirmed amongst others that the cell phone signal had been in the area of the pan until it died out last week. A Facebook Page, Finding Steven, was also created. On Monday a Johannesburg psychic, Diva, was approached to help with the mystery. She did a reading on Steven, and in an email to Sandy Pridgeon, a friend of the family, she says she saw a lot of depression in Steven’s life. “This is what I see, I’m sorry! Steven just needed someone to reach out to.” Other extracts from the reading include that he loved his grandmother very much and that he was very loyal to her. “If his dad’s gun is missing, it is definitely with Steven . . . I also believe Steven fully intended to take his own life, he just couldn’t face any more and had enough of his life. This was thought about for awhile. He knew exactly what he was doing . . . He abandoned his own car in that area as he

knew the area and there was a link between the area and his past. I don’t believe he is alive still. He is not very far from where his car is parked.” Steven’s body was found in Toronto Pan on Tuesday morning. It had been sighted by some fishermen who reported this to the police. The body had a gunshot wound to the chest. His backpack was packed with stones, and he was wearing a black T-shirt and black jeans. The police do not suspect foul play. Condolences for the bereaved family have flooded in across Facebook and other social media platforms. From the messages on Facebook Steven was much loved and respected by his peers and friends. He had made a deep impact during his life on earth.
Quotes from friends include: There is much to be said about memories, but today my only hope is that you are in a place better than ever imagined, filled with every joy you knew and more, and that peace will envelop you for eternity. I pray that your family will find some of that same peace somehow . . . Goodbye Steven. – Ashley Daly R.I.P. my friend . . . you will be missed by all . . . still it’s so unreal . . . — feeling sad. – Bianca Rossouw Steven leaves his grandmother, Charlotte Wessels, his father, André Wessels, his mother, Joey Wilms, his brother, Sean, and his sister, Nicola, behind. A memorial service for family and friends will be held on Saturday, Steven’s birthday.
