HUISMAN, Casey/Cees Huisman

Huisman: Cornelis — On May 21, 2025, Casey/Cees Huisman (Cornelis Huisman if you must) crossed over from a crazy world into a peace that passes understanding.

Born in 1951 in Bleiswijk, The Netherlands, Casey lived just outside Ridgetown for 35 years with his beloved wife Jan Huisman (passed 2020), married for 41 years (but who’s counting).

Son of the late Jacob and Beatrix (née Van Dyk) Huisman. He was the proud father of 7 children: Sharon (Allan), Karen (2003), Judy (2016) (Martin), Nancy (2018), Doug (Penny), Christine (Robert), and Steve (Casey). Also predeceased by sons-in-law Larry, Roger, and his faithful dog Lady.

Adored grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather to many. Loving brother to Ed (Nell), Peter (Ria), Jaco, Dita (Jan), Trudie (Helmic), and Arienne (Bertus). He will be missed by many nieces, nephews, and friends in both Canada and Holland.

The family extends their deep thanks to Dr. Prins and staff, the wonderful team at Village on the Ridge, and the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance for their compassionate care.

Family and friends will be received at McKinlay Funeral Home, 76 Main Street East, Ridgetown on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. with a Memorial Service to follow at 1:00 p.m. Burial at Greenwood Cemetery.

Cremation has taken place. Donations in memory of Casey/Cees to Parkinson Canada Inc. are appreciated.
