Meet Jan Cilliers, husband of Christy Giles
Jan Cilliers and Christy Giles got married on August 29, 2019. Looking back on their wedding, Jan said it took place on Wednesday night at Deep Playa under the artwork called ‘Broken but Together’.
Unfortunately, the two were only able to celebrate 2 wedding anniversaries as Christy tragically passed away in November 2021. Reports mention that the lifeless bodies of Christy and her friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola were dumped by masked men at two different hospitals after a night out.
Video obtained by DailyMail.com shows Christy making out with Hilda just hours before she was found dead. The two then left the party and went to a West Los Angeles apartment with some men they met that night.
In addition, traces of heroin were found in her body, leading Christ’s mother to believe that her daughter had been sexually assaulted before she was murdered.
Similarly, Jan (who was visiting her father in San Francisco when the incident occurred) claimed that his wife would never have willingly taken drugs and suspected foul play.
After her loss, Jan continued to share various IG posts related to his wife. One of them wrote: “The moments we shared will be forever etched in my mind. But that is not enough. I want more memories with you. I would do anything to make more memories with you. My heart is broken.”
As of November 2021, Christy’s true cause of death was still unknown. Meanwhile, her friend Hilda of hers was fighting for her life in a coma.
Looking back at the posts Christy made about her husband, she once wrote that there are no words to describe how she feels about Jan. “Thank you for all you do, I’m so in love with you,” she added.
Did Jan Cilliers and Christy Giles have children?
No, Jan Cilliers and Christy Giles did not have children. Even Jan’s Twitter bio says that she is a “stay-at-home dad” with no children.
Most of her dreams were shattered after a tragic event. Whether it was children or career, nothing was within Jan’s reach. However, he was ready to do justice to his late wife. That’s why he started a GoFundMe campaign with Carly Amos and has already raised over $100,000.
The fundraiser was titled “Christy’s Justice” and, of course, the funds would be used to hire a private investigator to look into the model’s case along with other expenses.
They also urged people to donate to save “any other women who have been or may be similarly seriously affected.”
