Troy David Van Dyk

April 5, 2024

Peacefully with his family by his side, Troy Van Dyk passed away on Friday, April 5, 2024, in his 60th year. Beloved husband to his beautiful wife Susan D’Agostino of 25 years. Proud father of Spencer Van Dyk, Madison Keener (Jordan), Mitchell Van Dyk (Madison), and Thomas Cormier (Alex). Cherished Papa of Harper and Penelope Keener, and Stella and Iris Cormier. Dear son of Mary Van Dyk and older brother of Kent Van Dyk and the late Stewart Van Dyk. Troy will be deeply missed by many extended family, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Troy had a strong faith in God and was a devoted Christian and parishioner of Forest City Community Church. He was a devoted family man, and his wife, children, and granddaughters meant the world to him, bringing endless joy to his life. Troy enjoyed many adventures, especially on the open road riding his motorcycle or on the water on his boat and soaking up the sunrises and sunsets from the beach.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff of the CCTC Unit at Victoria Hospital, London for their dedicated care and compassion.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 11, 2024, from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, where the funeral service will be conducted in the chapel on Friday, April 12, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Interment in St. Peter’s Cemetery, London.

During this sad time, may you all comfort each other and let the wonderful memories of Troy help heal the pain.

Suzy my deapest sympathy to you too, you two were so good together, perfect in every way. Troy my friend, my cousin, safe travels to the otherside.

Rest in peace my dear friend. Thank you for all of your kindness. With giving me a job, when finding out I was pregnant you became a huge role in my life and always made sure I was okay. With getting my tums if I was having heart burn to having hash browns on my desk when I showed up in the morning. When moving offices told me if I try to move anything I’m getting fired hahah, the humour you had was amazing. Thank you for giving being a job reference and always talking me up. Thank you for being there when I was down, thank you for dragging me to alpha at the church. Thank you Troy Van Dyk for everything. I will truly miss you. My heart is broken but I know you are finally at peace and able to rest. Until I see you again my friend ❤️

I am so very sorry to hear this heartbreaking news, lots of memories of wild rides to Port Dover with ICBA. I pray for peace for all those intimately connected to Troy as you navigate life without the person that loved you all so deeply.

~ Audrey deVoest

I met Troy close to 20 years ago on the occasion when he prayed and acknowledge his need for God, and began to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the ups and downs of life. Since that time, he continued to be a very loving family man deeply devoted to each one of them, and pursued his relationship with the Lord, in a very genuine way. I will miss Troy very much, and pray for the comfort of his family.
