In Loving Memory of

Jakob Leffers

Psalm 90:1 "Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations."

On March 23, 2023, our beloved husband, dad, and Opa went home to his heavenly Father at the age of 93.

Jakob was a devoted, caring husband and father. His strong faith in God, with a servant heart, was a role model for all his family.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Annetta; children: Carolin (Bill) Visscher, Doug (Val) Leffers, Jo-Ann (Jack) Winkel, Renee (Tim) Van Beek, Annette Lynn (Gerry) Boes, Pauline Leffers, and Reg (Christa) Leffers; 19 grandchildren: Ryan, Karen, Aaron, Jenay, Warren, Emerson, Cohen, Jaren, Morgan (Matthew), Kelsey (Cameron), Simon (Kennedy), Roger (Jordynn), Nolan, Jordan (Jenna), Jackson, Adam, Levi, Anika, and Amos; and 6 great-grandchildren: Abby, Lauren, Melanie, Eden, Jude, and Asher.

Jakob is also survived by his sisters, Maggie (Henk) Hofsink and Mary Kok; and brother, Andy (Helen). He was predeceased by his sister, Griet Van Dyk; and brothers, Klaas, George and John.
