JOHANNES ANTONIUS LAURENTIUS KRO

JOHANNES ANTONIUS LAURENTIUS KROOSHOOP August 10, 1947 ~ December 1, 2023
With heavy hearts the family of John Krooshoop, affectionately known as ‘The Dutchman’, announces his passing at St. Joseph’s Home – Carmel Hospice in Medicine Hat on Friday, December 1, 2023, at the age of 76 years. John was born August 10, 1947 in Bornerbroek, Netherlands, a son to proud parents, Bernardus and Hendreika Krooshoop. He was raised in the Netherlands where he received his primary schooling and later attended Agriculture School. He came to Canada in 1966 and started his agricultural journey. He farmed in the Burdett are until 1985, did some custom haying after this and ultimately became a grader operator for the County of Forty Mile for 20+ years. John married Daria in Bow Island on February 28, 1986, and began their lives together. John was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed the company of people as much as the journey or destination! He loved to fish, hunt, butcher, play cribbage, dance, and curl. John was an amazing host who loved to cook, cater and entertain. People were naturally drawn to him with his sense of humour and ability to tell funny jokes! He loved music… especially bluegrass, and could play “a mean” harmonica and was working on playing the guitar. John was thrilled when his uncles came from Holland to visit the farm, reminisce and together over the years, “bleed orange” for the Dutch National Soccer Team. He enjoyed every kind of fishing, especially deep sea fishing, and every October you would find John hunting in “The Hills” by Dutch Creek with Mario, Jimmy, Daria and his children and grandchildren. A fond memory of John’s, was when he and his brother won the Hose Laying Contest at Burdett Days. He was community minded and dedicated time being a 4H Leader and a Grand Knight with the Knights of Columbus in Bow Island. Most of all, John was dedicated to his family and he will be deeply missed by his family and friends. John’s memory will remain in the hearts of his wife, Daria; children, Taria (Curtis) Gouw, Scott Krooshoop, Clinton (Amy) Massong and Mike (Corinna) Krooshoop; grandchildren, Atlyn Gouw, Jonah Gouw, Benjamin Gouw, Hailey Smith, Jasmine Massong, Cole Massong, Gavin Massong, Avery Krooshoop, Ty Krooshoop, Danika Krooshoop, Atlas Herter and Tytan Herter and great-granddaughter, Brooklyn Massong; siblings, Tonnie (Agnes) Krooshoop, Mini Hoeste, Harry (Francien) Krooshoop and Theo (Regina) Krooshoop as well as special uncle, Gerrit Hollink and nephew, Frankie Hoeste, along with the rest of his nieces and nephews. John was predeceased by his parents, Bernardus and Hendreika Krooshoop; daughter, Elise Krooshoop and brother-in-law, Jan Hoeste. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Michael’s Catholic Church, 1st Street East, Bow Island on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. with Reverend Father Wojciech Jarzecki officiating. Interment will follow at the Burdett Cemetery.
