It is with deep sadness that the de Boer family announces the loss of a beloved man, Theodorus Adrianus Wilhelmus Josef de Boer on April 25, 2025. Theo was diagnosed with MDS and CMML late on in their stages but never let them stop him from living his best life, as he continued smiling and laughing while being the humorous, strong man he always was until his last breath. Theo made it clear he is not alone after he dies and will take care of family and friends who went before him and will be saving all his dear friends and beloved family future spots next to him. He told us not to worry about him because he’s got his Harley motorcycle and will be able to cruise to his hearts content.

Theo and the de Boer family would like to send their gratitude and appreciation to his family doctor, Dr. Shoewu and all the doctors, nurses, nurses aids, health care aids, physio team and all other staff at the Selkirk hospital for taking such good care of him during his hardest moments.

Theo will be leaving behind his wife of 54 years, Tina de Boer, 4 children (and 2 children in-laws), Adrienne, Theo (Lani), Shaun (Andrea), and Tara, 6 grandchildren, Josh,Erik , Skylar, Austin, Natasha and Luquitas; 2 great-grandchildren, Aubbie, Axtyn and his 3 dogs, Willow, Luna and Bella. All of whom will be missing him and sending him love till they meet up again.
