It's been an absolute honor to have know Jan. Always humble, polite, genuine and kind. He was a dedicated role model to everyone that knew him. He will be dearly missed.

I've enjoyed so much hearing stories of Mr. van Beveren from Roger. We've had many laughs, and reading about him on this site and how he has influenced so many lives brings tears to my eyes. What a wonderful legacy.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family ... especially today.

Although you have been living in the US for such a long time and therefore haven't been in Dutch football news a lot, please know that you have always remained in our minds and heart. Fortunately the author Ruud Doevendans wrote a great homage to you. An homage you certainly deserved. Hopefully, you'll know up there that, despite the controversies in your sportlife, you get all the recognition you deserve here. During the last days I remember again how wonderful the 70's have been for us, football supporters from Eindhoven. Mostly thanks to you, Jan. Thanks for that! People in Holland realize more and more that we could have won the World Cup with your participation as well. You will not be forgotten. Rest in peace!

When we would pull up to the field for training on Tues and Thursday, Garrison would always look for Jan and say "I hope we have Jan tonight" .. We moved here the same year he did and have played every season with him. Jan taught my son so much on the field but most importantly he was a friend to him. Everytime we step on the field from here on after we will always see his face and hear him in the wind....We love you Jan..
