NANNINGA, Derk - It is with great sadness but also joy that we announce our Dad is in glory together with our Lord, with his wife Rikstje and his brother Peter who passed away two weeks ago.
God took him home Sunday, August 16, 2020 in the morning in his sleep of natural causes, a blessed way to go 6 weeks and 2 days before his 98th birthday.
He had a tremendous and rich life and we will be eternally grateful for everything he has been to our family, our personal mentor and a blessing to his community.
Loving father to Gerda (Dave Repol), John Nanninga (Karen), and Rick Nanninga (Elizabeth). Proud Opa to Sandy (Bill), Tracey (Harley), Andrew (Jennifer), Nathaniel, Natalie (Vladimir), Jennifer (Joel), Lisa (Kevin), Michael (Loretta), and Sarah (Mitch). Cherished great Opa to 17.
A private family service will be held.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to Gate 3:16 Outreach Centre in Oshawa, a drop-in centre for people ages 24 and up who are needing help in some area of their life.
