We Remember

LINDEMULDER, Nicholas “Nick”
June 28, 1962 — December 4, 2021
On December 4, 2021, Nick Lindemulder went, unexpectedly, to be with Jesus.
Nick was born and raised in Brampton, Ontario. Many people considered him to be unique. There is only one Nick. He was intellectually brilliant, traveled widely, and had diverse occupations throughout his life. Nick loved games, especially Scrabble, cards, and Disc Golf. He was a lover of nature and an avid knitter. He went through many challenges, including 42 surgeries throughout his life due to a motorcycle accident in 1987. Nick was a survivor who didn’t lose faith in life, and this made him a beautiful person. He was generous, sensitive, and had a big heart. Nick befriended many vulnerable people, including those without homes.
Nick will be forever missed by his daughter Lisa Lindemulder (Nick Peeters); mother Johanna Depleijt (Step-father Frederik Depleijt d. 2020); and sisters Joyce Lindemulder (Scott Goebel), and Elizabeth Lindemulder. As well as the members of his large extended family.
A Celebration of Life will be held to honour Nick on MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2021, at 4:30 pm PST, at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Please feel comfortable dressing casually. Nick would not care how you are dressed, he would welcome you as you are.

We only knew Nick because we did his laundry every week for the last 3 years, what a lovely man, we are going to miss those big woolly socks, RIP Nick xxxx
We received the news of Nicks’ passing with great sadness and remember him as a kind and warm person. We send our sincerest condolences to Johanna and her family for their shared loss. The Savidge family.
So sorry to hear of Nick’s passing. Nick was a beloved friend. We have fond memories of him teaching our kids Indonesian cooking as well as buying our identical twins t-shirts with their initials on so he could tell them apart. Our condolences to his daughter and family.
I remember when Nick babysat me after school everyday when I was in grade school. We would share a Joe Louis and watch TV after my homework was done. When he went to Holland and returned for visits he always made time to meet up with me. We had some great talks on those occasions. Later when he moved back I would see him sometimes at Poker nights and we would always share a laugh. It seems so unbelievable that we won’t have any of those times again. He had his struggles but he had a good heart and that’s what counts. I’ll miss my cousin. My love and prayers to Joyce, Elizabeth and Tante Johanna.
When I was 11-12 years old. Nick became my foster parent. Ever since then, for the last 10 years, he has made such a positive impact on my life, he taught me so much. I am deeply saddened by his passing. I never really had a father in my life. But Nick was always someone I could go to. And was the closer thing I ever had to a dad. I hope you rest in peace Nick. I’ll be thinking of you. ,Corey
Nick ♥️ Starbucks coffee & Dairy Queen milkshakes; zucchini spaghetti & Italian wedding soup; epic Chinese food feasts … and so much more! You took me on as a room-mate and it didn’t take long to become friends as well. Always interested and supportive. Ready to win at cribbage (as you almost always did) and happy to teach myself & others the dice game none of us had heard of before.
So many things that will remind me of you & will surely bring a smile to my face.
Rest in peace my friend, rest in peace.
Being the youngest of our generation, I will cherish the fond memories of my ‘hele grote neef’ (very tall cousin) as he visited us in The Netherlands when I was still a little kid. His crazy and exiting stories when he stayed at our house when I was a teenager and the times I visited him later in Amsterdam. Rest in peace, you big bear, and may God watch over you and the loved ones you leave behind.
I was so sorry to hear about Nick I still can’t believe it.. he was such a beautiful soul and he had a huge heart for everyone. I will truly miss you Nick
We were saddened to hear about Nick’s passing and you are all in our thoughts. Although he was younger than I was we still spent some time fishing up at Camp LaPlage and I usually lost to Nick playing Cherckels. I have many childhood memories of staying and eating at your place.
So sorry to hear about Nick’s passing, so glad to know he’s at peace. I hadn’t seen Nick in so many years but the years we did have together were an amazing time of growth and love.
First time in my life when I went away from home for a longer period was during the summer of 1990 when my mother advised me to take a break from university and visit my relatives in Canada. For two months I went to Ontario and Nick took good care of me. He even arranged for me to be counselor at the fantastic camp Quin-Mo-Lac. Later when my girlfriend Yvonne came over from a summer job in Minnesota he showed us the beauty of Algonquin NP during a four day canoeing trip and like he taught Lisa also learned me to make a campfire. Some years later we met again when he came over to live in Amsterdam and we almost became neighbors. Where we met Carina and later welcomed Lisa to this world. I will never forget you my dear cousin.
