Obituary for Gerardus Leonardus Vandenberg

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of a wonderful husband and father, Jerry Vandenberg, on February 28, 2020 at the age of 63. Known by all for his kind and generous heart, gentle nature and warm and engaging smile, Jerry will be deeply missed by his wife Debbie (née Powell), daughter Laura and son Chris (Cleo).

Born in Niagara Falls, the beloved eldest son of Ed and the late Ann Vandenberg, Jerry will forever be in the hearts of his loving family: brothers Ed (Erica), Tony, Jack (Nancy) and Paul (Akiko) and sister Donna (Craig) Barnes.

A dearly loved son-in-law of Jim and Joan Powell and brother-in-law of Dan Powell (Denia), Jerry will also be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews and by his extended family and friends.

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at the Irvine Memorial Chapel at Roselawn, 2451 County Road 15, Maitland on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 from 1 until 2 pm at which time a Funeral Liturgy will be held in the chapel followed by interment in the tower columbarium. Everyone is welcome to stay for a reception afterward where family tributes will be given. As expressions of sympathy, charitable donations to the OSPCA (Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) Leeds Grenville Branch or a charity of your choice will be gratefully acknowledged.

Send condolences on the memory wall above or place a donation to the local branch at https://ontariospca.ca/leedsgrenville/ (If you wish to have them send a notification to the family and you do not have the family’s contact information, please have it sent to the funeral home at admin@irvinememorial.com or 4 James Street East, Brockville ON, K6V 1J9).
