Jan Jansen

March 16th, 2012

Jan Jansen passed away unexpectedly on Friday, March 16, 2012, just shy of his 71st birthday. Predeceased by his parents Jan Jansen Sr. and Derktje Jansen (nee Pijning). Jan will be missed by his children Andrea Lopez (Jansen) and Brendan (Jodi) Jansen; his grandchildren Rio Lopez, Braiden and Brody Jansen. He also leaves behind numerous friends and family members both here and in 'the old country' (Holland). Jan enjoyed his retirement years as he spent time traveling to Mexico, shopping with his friends, and visiting with his grandsons. There will be no service at Jan's request. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jan's memory can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Messages:

Andrea & Brendan, we knew your father very well, and are so sorry to see he has passed away. Please accept our condolances. He was very good to our family, and we spent some good times at the Carlyle cabin. Take care, Loney

To the Family, Lawrence and I would like to send our deepest sympathy to all of you. Our thought and love are with you in such a time of such sorrow, take care of each other, just to let you know we are thinking of you if there is anything we can do please let us know. Lots of love Lawrence and Robin Hodel @ Family

Andrea, Brendan, Jodi and kids, we were so sad to hear of Jan's passing. He has been a fantastic next door neighbour for the past 17 years. He always spoke with the greatest of pride about his kids and grandchildren. We had many conversations in the driveway and over the back fence about his grandchildren, dogs (his dog Sandy and our dog Twinkle were the best of buddies!) and traveling. We will miss him. Take care and know we are thinking of you all.

Andrea and Brendan (Jodi) What a shock it was to see the obituary in the paper. Three years ago I left the salon not looking back but always missing my dear customers. My thoughts and prayers for you all. The grandkids were so dear to him. Thanks for all the great memories your dad gave me and for all hugs and kisses too! Fran

Jan was a good friend and a man of dignity and respect. He taught me a lot of things when I first came to Canada in the year 2000. Before I left Canada on March 7, 2012 for my moms funeral here in the Philippines he sent me a message of sympathy for my loss. Would surely miss Jan but I know that he is with our Lord God Almighty. My sincere sympathy to Andrea and family and to Brendan and family.
