With indescribable heartbreak, deep sorrow, and overwhelming shock, the Stock family, together with the rest of South Africa, learned yesterday of the tragic and untimely passing of their beloved Warrick “Warras” Stock.
Warrick, a respected South African media personality, activist, and businessman was brutally murdered on the morning of Tuesday, 16 December 2025, in downtown Johannesburg. The senseless nature of his passing has left his family devastated, broken, and struggling to imagine a world without him.
A devoted son, a loving and proud father, a cherished brother, and uncle Warrick (40) was the heart and anchor of his family. Affectionately known as DJ Warras, also known as “The Shady Lurker”, he brought light, laughter, and strength into every space he occupied. His influence and kindness extended far beyond his home, and he was deeply loved by his friends, colleagues, and the wider South African entertainment community.
Warrick leaves behind his three young children, his mother, and his siblings, whose lives have been irrevocably changed by this profound loss.
As the family begins the painful journey of mourning, they humbly ask for privacy, compassion, and understanding during this unimaginably difficult time. They also respectfully request that the South African Police Service be given the space and support needed to thoroughly investigate this tragic crime, so that justice may be served.
At this time, the family is not in a position to appoint a spokesperson. They kindly ask that they be kept in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this deep and painful loss.
The Stock family extends their heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love, messages of support, and condolences received since the news of Warrick’s passing was made public. Your kindness, compassion, and solidarity have brought moments of comfort during an incredibly dark time.
Details regarding memorial and funeral arrangements will be shared in due course.
With love, gratitude, and broken hearts,
The Stock Family
