Simone Naidoo, the wife of Durban rider Revin Naidoo, has paid a heartfelt tribute to her late husband, describing him as her "ride or die guy". Revin, 39, died in hospital on Monday after crashing while travelling to a bikers' event last Sunday morning. Simone, 35, shared her memories of Revin, saying he was not just her husband but also her best friend, companion, comfort, and love. The couple married seven years ago and ran a business together.
Revin started riding bikes 13 years ago and was an active member of the Revolution Motorcycle Club before resigning over a year ago to join the Crusaders Motorcycle Club. Simone met Revin 10 years ago through a friend and described him as a very hands-on person who was sporty and played cricket and volleyball to keep fit. He was also a member of the Predators Volleyball Club. The couple got to spend a lot of time together in the last 12 months after Revin resigned from his job in the chemical industry.
Simone remembered Revin for his beautiful sense of humour, wit, and ability to make everyone laugh and happy. She said he had a strong sense of justice and stood up for what he believed in, protecting those around him, including their dog, Dre. Revin's friend and fellow biker, Leon 'Mountain' Kengan, remembered him as a brother, saying they had been friends for over nine years and had become more than just biking friends.
Leon 'Mountain' Kengan said he and Revin had met through biking but had become brothers, praying together and attending each other's family functions. He said Revin's family had become his family. The president of Crusaders Nomads KZN, Leon 'Wagon' Gengan, honoured Revin with the Diamond Badge of honour at his funeral last Wednesday.
Simone's tribute to Revin has highlighted the impact he had on those around him, with many remembering him for his kind heart and sense of humour. Revin's death has left a void in the lives of his loved ones, who continue to mourn his loss. The funeral service was attended by friends and family, who came to pay their respects to Revin.
The cause of the accident is not yet known, but Simone's tribute to Revin has brought attention to the risks that motorcyclists face on the road. Revin's love for biking and his passion for life are remembered by those who knew him. His legacy lives on through the memories of those who loved him.
Revin's story has touched the hearts of many, and his memory will continue to inspire those who knew him. Simone's words, "My heart is broken. Revin was not just my husband. He was my best friend, my companion, my comfort, my love and my ride or die," will remain a testament to their love and relationship.
