Gerald HOGETERP

1942 - 2022

Surrounded by his loving family, Gerald (Gerrit) Hogeterp, a child of God's creation and redemption, went to be at home with the Lord on June 16. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 56 years, Jackie, and their dear children and grandchildren, Henry (Brennan and Laura, Ariel, Kina, and Jared), Mike and Michelle (Jocelyn, Seth and Marisca, and Zoë), Paul and Stacia (Winona and Enye) and Jane and Dan. Gerald was born in Sneek, Fryslan on March 11, 1942. His parents and their eleven children immigrated to Canada in August 1952. The challenges of early life gave him a passion for justice throughout his life. He was ordained in the Christian Reformed Church as a pastor in 1969, and together he and Jackie served five churches in Canada. The last years of their ministry were spent in Nigeria, where he worked with churches doing HIV and AIDS education. The great joys of his life were preaching the Gospel of Jesus and singing great music of western culture. The family would like to thank the medical staff at Juravinski Hospital, especially Dr. Tom Kouroukis and Nurse Practitioner Karen West, the staff, and residents of Wellingstone Christian Home for their encouragement and support, the palliative home care team, especially Zubeida and Ramandeep, and the staff at St. Peter's Hospital for the loving care given to Gerald during his last days. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Cancer Assistance Program or World Renew.
