Lovely gent, will be much missed at the gigs. RIP. Jan.

Wow... sad news

I met Jan a few times,
He was a huge Stones-fan and a very friendly guy.

RIP Jan

RIP

Very sad..RIP

Such a nice and sweet man.
So very, very sad.
The Stones family will miss him a lot.
Rest in peace, dear Jan.

Way too soon, RIP Jan.

It's always so terribly sad when one from our community passes.

Rest in peace, Jan

He had some of the best pictures on IORR. I will miss the big man with the little camera.

I just can not believe it. So sad.

I met superfan Jan Veeken many times on tour. He was always a big smile, making excellent photos, as you may see on the IORR show reports pages.

Jan followed the entire European Tour last year. Often we stayed at the same hotels, and he was early into the pit, a great fan. I am so sad to hear about his passing.

RIP Jan Veeken.

Sad news indeed. Never spoken to him I think, but I seem to remember him from a lot of concerts from The Stones from at least 1998 till 2017.

Rest In Peace

Knew this day would come but still a big shock. Rest in Peace dear Jan!

Jan looked like he could be Keith’s cousin.

Thanks for sharing your pictures and positive energy.

R.I.P.

We will miss you at the shows and seeing your wonderful photos after. Rest In Peace… Jan.

I didn't know Jan personally but I happened to see him often around the various European stadiums and I always had the impression that he was a nice person.
RIP Jan

Very sad news...bumped in to him at many shows throughout the years going back to the Licks Tour.
He was always such a nice, friendly, and happy guy with a huge smile.

RIP Jan Veeken

R.I.P Jan. Such a great and friendly man. Met him many times on tour. Jan will be missed.

My wife and I are feeling very sad. We knew it was coming, but not that fast.
I will always remember when Jan visited us with another Stones fan/friend to enjoy a tasty coffee and some Japanese snacks and lots of talks about the Stones.

RIP Jan, your spirit will be with us.

I'm a GHOST living in a ghost town

Never met the fellow, but I recognized him way ahead of me in line for a train from London to Amsterdam (after the 2nd Hyde park show). I'm glad he got to be there for the 60th. Rest in peace.

RIP Janneman thanks for the great pictures you shared

RIP Jan, you will be missed…

I've just heard about this on Facebook. I never met Jan but I knew him on sight and knew his name. Always an easy pick out in a crowd with his towering height! I'm absolutely stunned. I stayed in the same hotel as Jan in Lyon last year and saw him on the catwalk rail in the pit at the show.

RIP to his family and friends - he sounds like a good guy.

So sad, saw him in the pit over the years, seemed like a really nice guy.
RIP, Jan V.

So sad...
Rest in peace, Jan.
