Ezra Levi Aaron DeGroot
1985-2019
It is with great sadness that the family of Ezra DeGroot
announce his passing on April 2, 2019. Born in Sarnia, ON, on August
5, 1985, he was the son of Allan DeGroot and Elizabeth (Wiarda)
Hill.
MCpl DeGroot served as an infantryman with the
2nd Battalion The Royal Canadian Regiment. He
enlisted on February 12, 2009 and served on OP ATTENTION in
Afghanistan in 2012. Ezra loved his motorcycle, his dog and his
muscles. He was a successful boxer, football player and generally
excelled at all physical activities. While he was known for his brawn,
he had one of the biggest hearts one could find. He was also
passionate about music and composed until the day he
passed.
He will be deeply missed by his father Allan; mother
Elizabeth; brother Elijah DeGroot (Cheryl), their children Selah,
Delilah and Elias; sister Jessie Tolton (Greg), their children Levi,
Ava and Eden; special friend Ashley Williams and her son Tyson Dubois;
his maternal grandmother, also known as Beppe, Vicki Wiarda, as well
as his extended family, military family and close
friends.
Ezra is predeceased by maternal grandfather Heiltje Wiarda,
as well as paternal grandparents Anton and Ida DeGroot.
A visitation will be held at J.A. McAdam Memorial Chapel on
Monday, April 8, 2019 from 6 – 8 pm with words at 6:30 pm.
There will be a private interment at a later date. Memorial donations
may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.
