With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Gerrit Jan Brakel on June 19, 2025, at the age of 81. A beloved husband, a loving father and Opa, a cherished brother, a fun uncle, and a loyal friend to many.
Gerrit leaves behind his much - loved wife Atie; his daughter Joanne; his son Robert (Chérie); and his four adored grandchildren: Alexandre, Lachlan, Andrew, and Maëlle. He is also lovingly remembered by his siblings Ken (Betsy), Greta (Jake), and George along with many nieces and nephews.
A memorial service in honour of Gerrit’s life will be held on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. The service will take place at Covenant Christian Reformed Church, located at 653 Knowles Avenue.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Amant Foundation in Gerrit’s memory.
