“THEY DON’T SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT ANYMORE…” 💔 The heartbreaking reality for DJ Warras’ three young sons is sinking in deeper every day since their father, Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock, was brutally assassinated on December 16, 2025, in Johannesburg.
Family members have shared that the innocent boys — still so small — now wake up in panic at night, terrified by the absence that will never be filled. Whenever they see their dad’s photo, hear his voice on an old clip, or even catch a glimpse of something that reminds them of him, the grief hits like a wave. They’re too young to process the horror, but old enough to feel the permanent hole in their world.
Great-grandmother Hester Livanos, who has been helping hold the family together, spoke through tears about how the children keep asking, “Where is my dad?” and how they’re struggling to sleep, haunted by the sudden loss of the man who was their everything — the exceptional, devoted father who lived for his boys.
This isn’t just a news story anymore. It’s a lifetime of trauma for three little boys who should be dreaming of playgrounds and cartoons, not waking up in fear. The emotional scars from losing a parent to violence are deep and often invisible, but the family says the pain is raw and unrelenting right now.
Here are some of the most moving images from Warras’ funeral at Immaculate Conception Church in Rosebank, where hundreds gathered to honor the man who fought for his community and loved his sons fiercely:

And these portraits of DJ Warras — the charismatic, fearless, loving dad who will be forever missed:
Two suspects have been arrested and are facing murder charges, but for the Stock family — especially those three boys — no arrest can bring their dad back. The community continues to rally with tributes, prayers, and support, but the nights are long, and the healing will take time.
If you’re feeling this one, send love, light, and strength to Warras’ sons and the entire family. They need it more than ever.
Rest in power, DJ Warras. Your boys will carry your strength, even through the hardest nights. 🕊️❤️
