On behalf of the van Kesteren family, it is with heavy hearts that we share of the sudden passing of Joost on May 16.

The family is now facing the emotional and financial strain of laying him to rest. In this time of deep sorrow, we are reaching out to ask for your support in helping cover immediate expenses and provide much-needed relief to the family during this heartbreaking time.

Joost was a loyal son who deeply adored his mother, a caring brother, a proud and devoted uncle, a loving boyfriend, and a cherished friend to many. His presence brought warmth, laughter, and love into the lives of everyone around him.

Every contribution—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference as they begin to navigate life without Joost. This is a way for us all to honor Joost’s memory and provide tangible support to those who loved him most. Your kindness, compassion and generosity are deeply appreciated.
