Gerald (Jerry) Johnson
Gerald (Jerry) Lee Johnson (son of Bernard & Alberta Johnson) passed away Sunday, March 5th, 2023 in southern California. He and his wife, Pat, resided in Menifee, CA. Jerry is survived by his wife Patricia (Hartley) Johnson whom he shared an extraordinary love and friendship; daughter, Lesli Johnson; son, Brett Johnson (wife Colleen); stepsons Eric Hartley and Jake Scheideman; and grandchildren Bradi Johnson, Christopher Hartley and Amanda Scheideman. Born September 29, 1940 in Rockford IL, Jerry spent much of his early life in Rockford, raising a family with his first wife, Linda (Johnson) Wetzel. Jerry strived to create wonderful memories with family and friends. Jerry worked his entire career in the Tool & Die industry in Rockford, Crawfordsville, IN and California. For the past 38 years, Jerry called California his home. If you knew Jerry this was the perfect environment for one of his passions – Sunday golf. However, each Sunday during the NFL season, it played havoc in his ability to watch his favorite team, The Green Bay Packers. Sunday’s post-game Jerry and Brett would get on a cross-country phone call and recount touchdowns and fumbles. Jerry was passionate about many things, including his family, golfing, bowling and his friends. Known as “JJ” to many, Jerry had friends he met in grade school! After moving to California, Jerry frequented Rockford to see his lifelong friends and enjoy his favorite midwest treats: Cream Puffs, Mrs. Fisher’s Chips, Maid-Rites, Swedish Pancakes and Kringle’s from WI. Jerry had a wonderful ability to make everyone feel special and part of the family and in turn, he was part of theirs. He was the consummate host, toasting with Tom & Jerry’s during the holidays, and the traveling “Grandpa with the Beard.” Grandpa taught Bradi how to bake holiday cookies her first 17 Christmases! Jerry also had a commitment to volunteer work and giving back. Early on he volunteered at Trinity Lutheran Church (Rockford) and served as a swim meet coordinator (Rockford Marlins). Later in life he coordinated golf events at the Menifee Lakes Golf Club & Community. He will be missed by so many.
Joel Hoare
There’s no right amount of words we can put on this to express how great of a person Joel was, but if we had to summarise it in one sentence, “Joel had a very Joel sense of humour and approach to work and life”. You could just immediately tell that a message or comment would have come from him, he was so unique in the way he’d approach a task and you could see the heart and passion he put into it as he was delivering it, he was always so unassuming and would ask amazing questions and become so invested in any project he was on, he lived and breathed doing the right thing for people and that flourished in his work. Outside of work he was no different, his humour and approach to life was incredible, he’d always have the time of day for anyone, and would go above and beyond to make you feel like part of the group regardless of if you’d known him for five minutes or five years. From giving in depth pool advice, to smashing it up on the table tennis court, Joel was a competitive, but humble guy, who just wanted everyone to have a great time, he was a fierce flame on nights out, and even though that flame has passed on somewhere else, we still feel that warmth and care from an incredible man. He was an incredible father and often spoke in great detail and passion about what he was up to with his family over the weekend or in the evenings, it was wonderfully wholesome to listen to. You were an incredible worker, father, friend and we love you Joel, we miss you deeply, but you live on in the best moments of all of us.
Jonathan Jelinski
Jonathan Jelinski, Cell Therapy Specialist, was a bright and warm individual who came into work each day radiating happiness and positivity among his Kite family. In addition to passion for his own work, Jonathan created an supportive and inclusive environment for his peers to excel. For those who could also call Jonathan a close friend, they were touched by having him in their life. We will deeply miss Jonathan.
Richard van Bergen
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Richard, a cherished colleague of Ridder and a highly respected member of our organization. Richard was an exceptional individual who brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every department he worked with. He was known for his professionalism, his kindness, and his unwavering commitment to excellence. Throughout his time with us, Richard played a key role in our organization. His leadership and guidance were invaluable. But it was not just his work that made Richard such an integral part of our organization - it was also his kind and compassionate nature. He was always willing to lend an ear, offer advice, or simply share a smile. He was a true inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of working with him. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Richard thank you for everything you did for us.
Lucy Wang
Lucy Wang was a stunningly beautiful, vivacious and generous person who was taken from this world too soon. She made friends easily whereever she lived and loved to cook, travel, and tease her nephews and shared their mutual love of funny animal videos. She had an unmatched sense of style and a keen eye for fashion. We celebrate and remember the person she was and her lasting impact on many.
Ezekiel Arthur
Ezekiel Benjamin Elford Arthur, better known as Efford James was a stalwart and gentle giant in his community. He commanded respect without saying much, and was a stalwart Christian soldier in the Seventh-day-Adventist Church. He has been a blessing on the lives that he touched. May he rest in peace.
Kishore Shah
Kishore was born in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1947. He moved to London and received a degree in Pharmacy, and in August 1974 he met the love of his life, Jyoti Shah. Kishore was a man of many passions including, community service, travelling, enjoying delicious food, music, playing table tennis, and later on in life, his grandchildren. He was a genuine pillar of our community, having served as Chairman of Oshwal North Area UK and then as a trustee of Veerayatan UK. The values of faith and spirituality, family, friendship, and a hard work ethic were instilled in him, and he was honoured to have decades of friendship and thousands of hours committed to charitable causes and projects. We will truly miss him as a father, brother, grandson, uncle, friend, and mentor. He has set off on a new another adventure with his beloved, Jyoti.
