He was struck down outside the A&E department of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (QEQM) Hospital in Margate, Kent, at around 4pm on Thursday.
Little Jan was the youngest of five siblings and his family are “beyond devastated”.
But his death also came just six days after his aunt “suddenly and unexpectedly” passed away.
Jan’s cousin Kyia, 32, told The Sun the family is “beyond broken” having lost a baby of the family in “another horrific way” so soon after her mum died.
She said in a touching tribute: “I can’t believe I’m even writing this.
“He was just four-years-old, the youngest of five. His mum and four older siblings along with the family are beyond devastated.
“Not only did I lose my mum six days ago, now but we have now lost one of our babies of the family in the most horrific of ways.
“I have no words what is even happening to my family at this moment in time, it’s unbearable.”
Kyia’s mum Taz Green – who is the sister-in-law of Jan’s mum – “suddenly and unexpectedly” died the day before turning 52.
This was just two months after her gran passed away in yet another tragedy for the family.
Taz, a mother-of-five, was discovered dead at her home in Ramsgate, Kent, by her teenage son on Sunday morning.
Paramedics were called to Taz’s address at roughly 11am.
Despite their best efforts, the grandmother-of-one was pronounced dead at her home.
Her family are now waiting on the results of an autopsy to uncover the circumstances surrounding Taz’s tragic death.
Taz leaves behind her husband Peter, her five children Kyia, Jack, Jay, Kian and Kaelen.
Kyia said: “We are in such desperate need of our mum.
“Mum was such a free spirited, life of the party kind of wonder woman – none of us ever thought she would not be here.
“My mum loved horses and anyone who knows mum knew that and we would love to have my mum a horse drawn carriage because she was a queen and she deserves the very best send off.
“We all feel helpless and I don’t know what to do without her.”
‘I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED’
A GoFundMe was set up by the Jan’s mum to help pay for his funeral.
It reads: “My name is Azaria, today on the 7th of August 2025, me and my family went to visit our mum at Margate hospital.
“And my son who is only four-years-old fell under a bus and he died immediately.
“I am so lost, he was my son, my most beautiful little Jan. I don’t know what to do I can’t believe you are gone from me.
“I can’t believe they couldn’t save you, I can’t believe this happened.
“I didn’t even get to tell you how much I love you.
“Please if anyone can help us to make his burial as beautiful as he was please I will be so grateful.
“Everyone is devastated, but that word doesn’t feel like enough to explain how we are all feeling.
“Our sweet funny boy with a cheeky smile that could make anyone’s heart full. The smile that we can’t see again. Can’t hold him. Can’t cuddle him. Can’t hear him. Can’t have him sleeping in my bed tonight.
“But I can try to give him the best and most comfortable burial. My baby I wish you were in my bed tonight cuddling. I love you my boy.”
Cops have appealed for anyone with information to get in touch.
