LUGTENBURG, Adrianus "Ed" Lugtenburg - 1939-2022
On Saturday, May 28th, 2022, Adrianus (Ed) Lugtenburg was called home at the age of 83.
After several months of declining health, Adrianus died peacefully at home in Whitby, Ontario with his beloved wife Margaret, their children, and family by his side.
Adrianus was born in Spijkenisse, Netherlands, on January 6th, 1939.
He relocated to Canada as a teenager with his father and mother and 4 younger brothers.
In 1976, Adrianus followed his calling and entered the ministry. Pastor Ed, as he was known, served faithfully, leading by example and with compassion for almost 30 years.
However, if you asked Adrianus what his greatest love was, it would have been the woman he met through a mutual friend on a blind date and spent 58 years of his life with and raising a family with. He supported and loved his family unconditionally.
Adrianus was preceded in death by his parents Arie and Lijntje and by his brothers Pieter and Arie.
He is survived by his wife Margaret, his daughter Adriana and John, daughter Amanda and George, and son Rodney; his 7 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren; and brothers Lou and Sandra, brother Hans and Barb, and late brother Pieter survived by his wife Johanne.
Arrangements with McEachnie Funeral Home, Ajax.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Palliative Care Centre or Yonge Street Mission.
