Kristin Kruiswyk

Kristin Allene "Kris" Kruiswyk (Sharp), age 49, passed away peacefully on May 8, 2025, in Everett, Washington. At 3am in the morning. Born on June 22, 1975, in Washington State, Kristin lived a life marked by unwavering love for her family, steadfast dedication to her work, and a heart full of kindness that touched everyone she met. A proud graduate of Lake Stevens High School, Class of 1993, Kristin went on to build a successful career as a dedicated insurance agent. Her professionalism and commitment earned the respect of colleagues and clients alike. But beyond her career accomplishments, it was Kristin's warmth and generosity that truly defined her. Kristin shared her life with her beloved husband Dirk Kruiswyk and found immense joy in the adoption of their son, Dirk Jr. She was the cherished daughter of Craig Sharp (birth father), Myles Sundin (adoptive father), and Karen Sundin (mother). Her deep bond with her siblings brought light into every family gathering: Cori and husband Randy; Erik and wife Brandy; Myles and wife Jesikah; Bryan and wife Katie; Toby and wife Amy; Logan and wife Corrine; Jordan; Jessie and husband Jay; Holly and husband Daniel. She also held close relationships with her aunts Laurie and Stacey, uncle Lyle, aunt Susan and uncle Clint. Kristin adored her many nieces, nephews, and cousins-each one held a special place in her heart. She was preceded in death by Nana and Papa Ross; Herman and Neil K.; Sandy and Nolan; Uncle Jerry; Uncle Bob; and Aunt Judy. Kristin never missed an opportunity to celebrate those she loved. Whether it was a birthday party, graduation ceremony, sporting event or race day at the track-if someone she cared about was involved, she was there with open arms and a joyful spirit. She especially loved cheering on her loved ones at baseball games or watching Dirk's car do laps around the racetrack-moments that brought her immense pride. Her love extended to animals as well. Over the years she cared for many beloved pets including Super Sport 1 & 2, Scooby Doo, Rowdy, Dale, Sebastian, and hedgehog Tink. Each one received the same gentle affection that defined all of Kristin's relationships. Those who knew Kristin often said you couldn't help but fall in love with her from the moment you met her. Her kind heart radiated through every gesture-big or small-and she made sure everyone around her felt seen, valued, and celebrated. The Lord blessed our family with Kristin's loving presence here on earth. Though we will miss her every day, we find comfort knowing she is home now-safe in our Father's arms-until we are able to "Be There" someday. In honor of Kristin's wishes, donations may be made to Seattle Children's Hospital or to a no-kill animal shelter of your choice in lieu of flowers. May Kristin's memory bring comfort to all who knew her-and may we carry forward the love she so freely gave. A Celebration of Life will be held on June 14, 2025, at 03:00 PM at The Rock Church 18824 Smokey Point Blvd #105
