William Van Berkel Obituary

We are sad to announce that on April 23, 2025 we had to say goodbye to William Van Berkel of Lacombe, Alberta. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of William Van Berkel to show support.

As William departs from our midst, his spirit ascends to join the cosmic dance of stars, a shimmering constellation of memories that will forever grace the night sky of the hearts of those who loved William. Though William may no longer walk beside us, his legacy lives on — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of time and space.

He was predeceased by: his wife Ann Salomons (Brett Van Berkel). He is survived by: his caregivers, Red Deer and Dr. Van Niekerk. He is also survived by many brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and many dear friends.
