Johan Tertius Booysen
1949-2024
Johan Tertius Booysen, 75, was surrounded by his wife and
children as he returned home to be with the Lord on the morning of
July 26, 2024; comforted knowing that «where two or three are
gathered together in His name, there He is in the midst of them»
(Matthew 18:20).
Born in Benoni, South Africa, he was the only child of Jan
Johnathan and Johanna Susanna (Esterhuyse) Booysen. Johan dedicated
his life to his family and to his career as a physician, specializing
in radiology. He was a loyal husband, father, and friend. A man of
deep faith, Johan often prayed with family, friends, and colleagues,
and in quiet moments of the day, turned his face to the Saviour when
his heart was in need of comfort.
Never one to rest, Johan lived with intention, valuing hard
work and perseverance. He dearly wished to provide his children with
the best opportunities he could. The family immigrated to Canada from
South Africa in 1990, settling in the small, friendly community of
Stephenville, Newfoundland. Johan worked at Sir Thomas Roddick
Hospital for nine years after which he relocated to Gander while his
family moved to Nova Scotia allowing his children to be united as they
pursued their own individual studies. Johan was grateful to be
entrusted with the opportunity to practice medicine in Canada and
worked tirelessly to honour the trust that the community bestowed in
him.
Johan reluctantly retired after 23 years at James Paton
Memorial Hospital in Gander, Newfoundland. He spent his last year in
the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, alongside his beloved wife. In his
retirement, his love of learning turned to experimenting with bread
baking, particularly sourdough, making rusks (a traditional South
African hard bread), making kefir, yogurt, and kombucha. Johan was
often engrossed in learning about new cultures, politics, and
religion, and relished sharing his newly acquired
knowledge.
Johan will be dearly missed by his wife, Ettje (Niehof);
children, Lynette Ina (Steve) Milley, Miranda Laetitia Booysen, and
Johan Gerhard Booysen. He was predeceased by his
parents.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks of
appreciation to the First Responders, the doctors, nurses and staff of
Valley Regional Hospital, particularly those in ER, ICU and surgical
ward, for their exceptional care and compassion. Johan was so
incredibly grateful and pleased with the treatment he
received.
There will be no visitation, by request. A celebration of his
life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on August 2, 2024, in the White Family
Funeral Home, Kentville, NS. For those unable to attend, a video
webcast will be available. Please visit

and for a copy of the bulletin. In lieu of flowers, donations in
Johan’s memory may be made to the Canadian Bible Society or
Valley Regional Hospital Foundation. Please visit

«Well
done good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of thy
Lord.» (Matthew 25:23)
