For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ~ 2 Corinthians 5: 1 ~
The Lord in His infinite wisdom called home to Himself, His son, Cornelis (Kees) Brouwer. Though his passing was sudden, the family acknowledges that God is sovereign and does all things perfectly in His time.
Kees was born on April 23, 1950, in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada along with his family when he was seven years old. He grew up in Ontario where he and his wife Alice welcomed their four children. Kees had a long and productive career with Walinga, which brought him to Manitoba in 1996. After retiring, Kees continued to keep busy with seasonal work around town. Kees was always active in his church and the broader community. He was eager to meet people and strived to live a life of service. He was especially dedicated to his blood and platelet donations, making more than 300 donations. His patience and caring nature are attributes his loved ones will remember fondly.
Kees is lovingly remembered by his wife Alice and by his children and grandchildren Rob and Francine Kottelenberg (Russell, Caleb & Elena), Kris Brouwer, and Ali and Cody Unrau (Misty, Shay & Creed). He is predeceased by his son Cornelis Brouwer.
In lieu of flowers, charitable donations can be made to Canadian Blood Services.
The family would like to thank Doyle’s Funeral Home for their assistance in preparing for the funeral and Pastor James Slaa for the excellent pastoral care he has provided.
Viewing will be held on Friday, May 10th from 7 - 8pm at Doyle's Funeral Home in Carman, MB.
The funeral will be held, Lord willing, on Saturday, May 11th, 2024 at 11:00 am at the Canadian Reformed Church of Carman West.Livestream available at the following link https://boxcast.tv/view/funeral-service---kees-brouwer-ccwfu6uxugd39qskhjhq
