In Loving Remembrance
In Loving Memory of
“Krikkel”
A life dedicated to healing, protecting, and caring for animals in need.
A life of compassion. A legacy of protection. A love for every living animal.
The Photography Collection
Angelo saw the world the way few of us ever learn to. Every photograph in this collection is a moment he captured or lived — 350 windows into the bushveld he loved, the animals he protected, and the people who walked beside him.
Step into his world. See what he saw.
Angelo was not just a son, a brother, a family member or a friend.
He was a protector of life.A wildlife lover.A game farm veterinary assistant.
A gentle soul who believed that every living creature — no matter how big or small — deserved compassion, care and a chance to live.
His life was deeply intertwined with the natural world. Whether he was caring for an injured animal, bottle-feeding an orphaned one, or simply spending time among the wildlife he loved, Angelo had a rare ability to see beyond the creature in front of him.
He saw a life.
And he cared.
Angelo lived by a quiet understanding that we are not separate from nature — we are part of it. He believed in treading lightly on this earth, protecting what could not protect itself, and leaving the world a little better than he found it.
His hands carried strength, but they were gentle.His heart held patience.And his compassion knew no boundaries.
He didn’t simply see animals. He recognised their lives, their vulnerability and their right to exist.
Field Notes
He saw a life. And he cared. Standing beside the largest animal on earth, Angelo carried the same quiet respect he gave to the smallest.
Field Notes
Work in the field meant long hours, careful hands and immense responsibility — protecting a species that cannot protect itself.
Field Notes
Bottle-feeding an orphaned one, carrying an injured one. Angelo's compassion knew no boundaries, and no creature was too small to matter.
Field Notes
Wherever an animal suffered, he went — whatever the hour, whatever the weight of the work.
Field Notes
Every living creature deserved compassion, care and a chance to live. Even the ones the world is quickest to fear.
Field Notes
A game farm veterinary assistant — his days were spent among the animals he loved, tending, watching, caring.
One of the messages that reminds us so deeply of Angelo is the message of hope shared by Jane Goodall in Famous Last Words with Jane Goodall — the belief that, despite the destruction, cruelty and greed that exist in our world, there are still people who choose kindness.
People who choose to care.People who choose to serve.People who choose to protect rather than exploit.
Angelo was one of those people.
He didn’t simply love wildlife. He devoted himself to it. And in doing so, he reminded us of something profoundly important:
Protecting wildlife is protecting the living world we all belong to.

the wild things remember you.
