DIRK
DEN HEYER
June 9, 1920 – May 21, 2014
With sadness, we announce the death
on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 of Dirk den Heyer who passed away peacefully at the
Victoria General Hospital in Winnipeg at the age of 93 years.
Dirk was born in The Hague, The Netherlands
to Cornelia (van der Swan) and Jacob den Heyer. He immigrated to Canada in 1954
and worked as a carpenter in Winnipeg and Vancouver. In the 1960’s, he and his
family owned and operated the Gateway Drive-In in East Kildonan.
Left to cherish Dirk’s memory are
his wife of 73 years, Cory, who was his loving and constant companion; sons:
Ken (Isabel) Nova Scotia, Theo (Judy) and Dick (Debra) of Winnipeg;
grandchildren: Kent, Nell, Molly and Elise; and great grandchildren: Violet,
Arianna and Austin. He was predeceased
by his parents and siblings in The Netherlands.
A private family service will take
place at a later date.
The family would like to thank the
Poseidon Care Centre staff for their compassionate care of Dirk during the past
three years.
