Farewell to Dr. Lincoln James Leonard Jansz<br />

26 April 1964 – 15 September <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

The Burwood Spinal Unit staff, family and friends said a sad goodbye<br />

to beloved physician and colleague, Lincoln Jansz on 22 September<br />

<strong>2018</strong>, at the John Rhind Chapel in Christchurch.<br />

In August 2017, Lincoln, a lifelong non-smoker was diagnosed with<br />

advanced stage 4 lung cancer. The news was devastating to his<br />

family, friends and colleagues.<br />

However, Lincoln was determined to fight the illness and he fought<br />

for as much extra time as he could to spend with his family.<br />

Lincoln was well-known and respected at the Burwood Spinal<br />

Unit. He spent several years and many long hours studying for the<br />

Fellowship of the Australasian Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine<br />

(FAFRM). He achieved this difficult goal in 2017 which was in no<br />

small part a consequence of his dogged determination to achieve<br />

what he had set out to do.<br />

He was a humble man, who always put his patients first and he<br />

cared very deeply about them.<br />

Lincoln was well-loved and respected by everyone at Burwood.<br />

He will be sorely missed by friends and colleagues in the Burwood<br />

Spinal Unit and the Burwood community.<br />

Rest in peace, Lincoln.<br />
