SA scriptwriter Christian Blomkamp, 44, dies - arts24_sa
In a tribute to him, Tiffany wrote:"We shared so many incredible moments at university together. Broken hearts, beautiful dreams, secret crushes. You loved to tease me with your 'soft hands'. Your beautiful piano player hands. You wanted nothing more than to be loved and deserved nothing but the best kind of love. You understood story and character on a level most only wish they could.
"Nothing made me laugh more than your astute commentary on our industry and the people who work in it. Dearest friend, we never got to write that script together. I never got to taste one of your incredible patisserie creations. But I will always hold our friendship deep in my heart. Rest gently beautiful friend. You'll always have a place at our table.
She added:"I am absolutely devastated to lose Christian – one of the most talented, kindest, funniest and most thoughtful! I was one of the lucky ones to have him as one of my best friends and I adored him." "Christian was one of the best storytellers I've ever met. He created the best stories and characters for TV viewers all over SA, scriptwriting for The Wild, former headwriter of Generations, Isidingo, Isibaya, Rhythm City and more.
"His talent didn’t end with writing, he was doing an impressive pastry chef course, which just showed how he could do anything he put his mind to. Proud is an understatement. I’m going to miss him more than I know how to put into words – he has left a massive void in my life and I am heartbroken. Rest in peace my incredible friend ... until we meet again."
