John Santema Obituary
We are sad to announce that on August 5, 2021 we had to say goodbye to John Santema of Milaca, Minnesota. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
He was predeceased by: his parents, John Santema and Bertha Santema (Byker); his siblings, Pease, Sidney (Fran), Harris (Shirley) and Alice; his brother-in-law Ray Mosley; and his daughter-in-law Shelly Santema (Hartmann).
He is survived by: his wife Brenda Bekius; his children, Jim (Jenny) of Milaca, Brian of Milaca and Audie (Karen Dorrans) of Knoxville, IA; his grandchildren, Kayla (Craig Lagerstrom) of Aitkin, Corey of Milaca and Craig (Paige Boman) of Milaca; and also, Arlene, Jason, Joshua, Charlotte, Rachel and Kelli.
In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer memorials to local organizations that John supported: Rum River Life Choices of Milaca; Community Christian School in Pease or the Mille Lacs County DAC.
