Obituary of Jack Klooster

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Jack Klooster, who was called home to be with the Lord on Monday September 1, 2025, at the age of 80.

Survived by his beloved wife Liz for 60 years. He will be deeply missed by his loving family. His daughter Stephanie (Boyd), her children Jacqueline (Kevin), and grandson Owen, and Luke (Eloisa); His daughter Deb, her children Stephen, Katelyn (Nick), and grandson Ashton. Jaimie (Derek); His son Sid (Daphne) and their children Isaac (Eryn), Ethan, and Angie (Scotia); His son Jack (Karina).

Predeceased by his parents Sietze and Popkie, his brothers and sisters Winnie (John), Margaret (Jelle), and John (Corrie).

Born on March 9, 1945 in Friesland in the Netherlands, Jack lived a life marked by faith, love, and service. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. Above all, he was a man of God whose life reflected the love of Christ in all he did.

Jack was a faithful member of Community Christian Reformed Church of Kitchener where he served in various ministries throughout the years and often could be heard talking about the various church services he would listen to online throughout the week. Whether it was through teaching, mentoring, praying for others, or simply offering a kind word, he lived out his faith with humility and grace.

Special thanks to the Doctors and Nurses at WRHN Queen’s Blvd for all of their care and compassion.
