Dakota Oegema Obituary, Death – Clarence, September 26, 1958 – January 22, 2013 On January 22, 2013, John Oegema, 54, passed away quietly in the company of his loved ones at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. After a protracted fight with cancer and chronic weariness, he is finally free and healed in the presence of the Saviour he loved and obediently followed. John and Gonny Oegema welcomed John into the world on September 26, 1958, in Brockville, Ontario.

He got married in Ottawa, Ontario, in 1983 to Anna (Geleynse) Oegema. They resided there until 1994, when they relocated to Rapid City, South Dakota. John was genuinely enthusiastic about life, and his enthusiasm was contagious. He loved to hike, walk, and cycle, and he was a passionate sports fan, especially hockey. He also enjoyed having long, meaningful conversations. The goodness and grace of God was his biggest passion in life.

His testimony to the sufficiency and kindness of God’s love never grew weary, and his faith remained unwaveringly passionate and contagiously childish. He was successful in pursuing his life’s goal, which was “to know God and enjoy Him forever.” He leaves a legacy of laughter, passion, and love. He was a wonderful father and a loving husband.

John leaves behind his devoted wife of 29 years, Anna (“Anneke”); his four children, Bart (Kristin and grandson Martinus), Nicholas (“Nick”), Timothy (“Tim”), and Alida; his father, John Oegema; siblings, Bart Oegema (Lori), Peter Oegema, Ellen Hessels (John), and sister-in-law Gamble Oegema; and numerous sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, and close friends. His brother Richard (“Rick”) and mother Gonny passed away before him.
