Obituary:
Ryan D. Hooyman, of Brillion, age 29, our beloved son, brother, uncle, grandson and friend was taken from us to be with God on Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Ryan was a great fan and avid collector of NASCAR, loved shooting pool, watching movies, cracking and playing jokes, and above all laughing with family and friends. Being a big kid at heart, children adored him, especially his young nephews. Ryan truly enjoyed his recent experiences traveling across America, especially the opportunity to work on the fishing boats in Florida. He was preparing to move on to his ultimate adventure by moving to Alaska and working on the fishing boats on the Bering Sea.
He is survived by his parents: Don (Sharon) Hooyman Jr. and Lavonne "Bonnie" (Dan) Verbeten; two brothers and two sisters: Nanette (John) Gerrits, Eric Verbeten, Brooke Hooyman and Luke Hooyman; two nephews: Hunter and Spencer Gerrits; paternal grandmother, Carol Hooyman; maternal grandmother, Blanche Vandenberg; stepgrandparents: Ralph and Evie Verbeten and Verl and Marian Parker. He is further survived by numerous aunts, uncles and other relatives.
He was preceded in death by his grandfathers: Donald Hooyman Sr. and Quin Vandenberg; and an uncle, Terry Vandenberg.
Memorial Service for Ryan will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday, August 28, 2009, at the Boettcher Family Funeral Home, 2401 Fieldcrest Drive, Kaukauna. Friends may call at the funeral home on Friday from 4 p.m. until the time of service. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund in Ryan's name is being established.
Ryan left us too soon. He will be forever in our hearts and terribly missed.
