JOHN (JAN) KRUIZENGA
March 22, 1934 - August 21, 2022
On a radiant Sunday afternoon our beloved and steadfast father, grandfather (Pake), and great-grandfather (Oerpake), took his leave of this temporal world to be received into the infinite mystery of the hereafter.
Our grief is tempered by humble gratitude for the preceding weeks that Dad was able to bask in the loving embrace, joy, and inestimable richness of deep communion with family, friends, and all creatures great and small. We are comforted by the wonder of this tender mercy granted him.
He leaves to mourn his passing five surviving children, Leonard (Jennifer), Herbert (Laurie), Peter, Karen (Garry), and Kenneth (Paula); grandchildren, Michelle (Troy), Laura (Jeff), Tate (Heather), Spence, Lanza (Amy), Helio (Mia), and Anthony; great-grandchildren, Luca, Maximus, Aiden, and Cole, as well as his surviving siblings, in-laws, nephews, nieces and friends.
Dad was predeceased by his beloved wife Bertha (née deJong) in 2007 and youngest son Robbie in 1970.
A service is planned for late September, with details to be announced.
We kindly request that friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by visiting his tribute page at EthicalDeathCare.com. Memories and stories published by those who knew him are available there.

We got to know John through the Men Of Breakfast (M.O.B.) at Covenant church on Monday mornings. Because of his musical gift he lead the men's Choir, and we had a lot of fun with that. We will miss you and your great topics at the breakfast and will cherish those memories. - Posted by: Chris and Susan Garner (friend) on: Sep 05, 2022
