Dirk Boersma was born in Rinsumageest, the Netherlands on October 10, 1950. He passed away peacefully on May 2, 2024 at the Fraser Canyon Hospital, following a short hospitalization after a decline in health.
Dirk was a hands-on dairyman. He loved all animals. He was a bachelor who loved to grow plants and a voracious reader of all subjects but especially science fiction. He spent many hours in the woods near the farm being as close to nature as he could. He was a gentle soul who perhaps longed for simpler times. Truly loved by his nieces and nephew as "Uncle Dirkie". He will still bring smiles to those who knew him, "Remember when..."
He was predeceased by his parents Kornelius and Tietje, his brother Pieter and brother-in-law Craig. He is survived by his brothers Casey and Tim and sisters Vicky and Susan (Kent). Also his nephew Kenny (Chantel) and their daughter Stevie, nieces Stephanie (Tony), Sarah (Alex), their sons Freddie and Arlo, Laura (Matt) and daughter Vivian.
Thanks to Agassiz Home Care and the staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital for their care and support.
