On April 5, 2015, Jack passed away at his home due to complications of double pneumonia.
He was born February 26, 1926 in Hilversum, Netherlands to Lourens Beuk and Johanna Berendina Dinkelman.
The family barely survived World War II with Jack going into hiding at eighteen years old to avoid being caught by the Germans for slave labor.
After the war, he was drafted into the Dutch Army, where he served three years.
Later, he was converted to the L.D.S. Church and immigrated to the United States on March 27, 1950.
He joined the Utah Air National Guard during the Korean Conflict and worked with the guard as a civil service technician for thirty-four years.
He married the love of his life, Oeke Rijnsburger, on December 5, 1951 in the Salt Lake Temple. Together, they raised three children.
The most important day in his life was December 28, 1954, when in his own words he said: "I became a citizen of this great country."
Jack enjoyed woodworking, fishing, camping, sailing, and, at the young and tender age of sixty, took up snow skiing with his cousin and best buddy, John Kolman, but his love and priority was his family.
Jack is survived by his loving wife of sixty-three years; his three children, Brenda (Marc), Raymond, and Linda Rose; five grandchildren, Brittany (Rocco), Tyson, Crystal (Nate), Caleb (Jennifer), and Dylan (Jaime); five great-grandchildren, Elise, Jayden, Ethan, Thomas, and Davis; sisters, Nellie (Maurice), Tina (Ralph), and Ansje (DeMoyne); and close friend, Inge. He was preceded in death by sister, Johanna and Louky.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, April 10, 2015 in the Canyon Rim Stake Center, 3051 South 2900 East. A viewing will be held from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 9, 2015 at Mountain View Memorial Estates Mortuary, 3115 East Bengal Boulevard (7800 South), and prior to the services at the church on Friday from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
