Obituary of Ronald Andrew Burgsma

On October 3rd 2015 Ron Burgsma, loving husband and amazing father, (age 56) left his earthly home and was welcomed into his Heavenly Father's house. Ron lived his life well, following the Saviour he knows and loves. With a servant heart, he leaves behind a legacy of lives touched: in his marriage, his children, his family and his friendships. Ron had many passions including youth ministry and farming, and was a hardworking and giving man with countless life adventures. He will be forever loved and cherished by his wife, Gerda (Buffinga); his children Harrison & Alissa – "Papa" to Mariah, Arron & Aric; Jillian & Matthew Good; Danielle; and Hudson. His parents: Harry and Gerda, and In-laws, the late Doeke & Henny Buffinga. His Brothers and In-laws: Hugh & Kim, Byrne & Alice, Wayne & Elizabeth, Jeff & Janine, Bert & Susan Buffinga, Obele Jan (John) Buffinga, Grace & John Fuerth and many nieces and nephews, as well as dear friends near and far. We are thankful for Ron's strong faith and leadership. His life is a testament of God's goodness and faithfulness. We will carry on in his example and look forward to the day we meet again. Family and friends will be received at the Trinity Christian Reformed Church, 245 Mill Rd., Goderich, on Thursday from 6-9 p.m. A celebration of life service will also be held there on Friday October 9, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. As expressions of sympathy and in memory of Ron's involvement in youth ministry, memorial donations may be made to Youth For Christ – SWOYFC-North Huron, through Falconer Funeral Homes, 201 Suncoast Dr. E., Goderich (519-524-1221).
