The Golden Lions Rugby Union (GLRU) is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Hyron Andrews.
On behalf of the GLRU President, Executive Committee, management, staff, affiliated clubs and the broader Golden Lions rugby community, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Hyron’s family, friends, colleagues and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.
His sudden passing is a profound loss, and our thoughts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. We recognise that words cannot adequately express the sorrow experienced by those closest to him, and we extend our sincere sympathies and support to everyone affected by this loss.
Neville Jardine, President of the Golden Lions Rugby Union, said:
“We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Hyron Andrews. On behalf of the GLRU, I wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to Maiglin, Hendrix, Emerson and the entire Andrews family, as well as his friends and colleagues. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they come to terms with this tremendous loss. May they find strength and comfort in the support of those around them during this difficult time.”

“The news of Hyron’s sudden passing is deeply saddening. On behalf of the GLRU management and staff, I extend our sincere condolences to Maiglin, Hendrix, Emerson and the entire Andrews family, as well as his friends and colleagues. The sudden loss of a loved one is difficult to comprehend, and our thoughts remain firmly with those closest to him. We wish them strength, comfort and courage in the days and weeks ahead.”
The GLRU also wishes to express its support and solidarity with Hyron’s teammates and the entire team during this exceptionally difficult period. Losing a teammate is like losing a brother, and we recognise the emotional challenges that accompany such a profound loss, particularly as the team prepares for tomorrow’s fixture.
“We wish the team strength, unity and courage as they navigate this difficult time. May the bonds of brotherhood within the team provide comfort and support to one another. As you prepare for tomorrow’s fixture, know that the entire Golden Lions rugby family stands with you. Our thoughts are with you, both on and off the field, as you honour the memory of your teammate and brother.”
The Golden Lions Rugby Union extends its deepest sympathies to all those affected by Hyron’s passing and respectfully asks that his family and loved ones be afforded the necessary privacy during this difficult period.
May his soul rest in peace, and may his memory live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
