This picture of Jacques Stefan Labuschagne was taken in 2003.
Born on 15 June 1980, he was always a cute fellow, once little and then growing and growing... to become the tallest of us all.
His interests, as the years went by, were Lego, guns, books, inline skating, playing guitar, ice skating, skate boarding, computer games, girls, playing guitar, long hair, computer games, playing guitar, more computer stuff, snow boarding, girls, and more computer games.
He studied Computer Science at the University of Otago and after graduating at the end of 2002, moved to Wellington and started working as a software engineer.
This is Jacques in 1981, 1983 and 1986.
Here he is a little older — 13 years (1993), 18 years (1998), and about 3 months later in 1999.
While at university he met the love of his life — Hester Hamilton.
And they were married on 29 November 2003.
