Kees van Leliveld

Kees was a junior at Warhill High School and a member of Williamsburg United Methodist Church. He enjoyed deep sea fishing with his Pop and Uncle Jeff and big brother, Cody. He loved hunting with Blake, Jimmy and the boys at Harcum. Twice a year, Kees enjoyed the Nascar Richmond race with Teddy, Cody and his uncles. He loved to play baseball for Warhill. Kees was giving, caring, and shared his life through mission work with Jeremiah Project and in Zimbabwe. He was a wonderful big brother and enjoyed watching and helping his sister, Carrie, excel in her sports and other activities. Most of all Kees enjoyed spending time with family and friends. With his infectious smile and sense of humor he kept others laughing, and gave amazing hugs to all.
