Kris Van Rikxoord
May 25, 1982 - October 14, 2014
Tribute
On Tuesday October 14, 2014, Kristopher Michael Van Rikxoord of Osoyoos passed away suddenly at Fox Creek, AB at the age of 32 years.
He was predeceased by his father Kenneth Harpe.
Kris will be fondly remembered by his loving wife Jody Lane Johnson and their special angel “Little Kennedi”; his mother Nancy of Aurora, Colorado; stepfather Garnet of Nanaimo; step-brothers Richard and Joden as well as many extended family and friends.
He was born in Edmonton, Alberta, but spent his school years with his mother in Colorado. After school he came back to Nanaimo where he eventually met the “love of his life” Jody Lane.
Kris was Foreman for Nabor Drilling. He will be remembered as sometimes being a rascal but he loved life and always saw the cup half full. He enjoyed dirt biking and fishing with Jody and Kennedi as well as all outdoor sports.
Jody and her family look forward to welcoming all of our and Kris’ friends as they join us in this celebration of life which will be held from 3:00 – 5:00 P.M. Saturday October 25, 2014 at the Osoyoos Golf Course.

To Colorado’s family and Jody, we share your loss.
Colorado I am shocked & heartbroken to hear of your life being taken away so suddenly, too soon.
There is no one quite like you. You never went unnoticed through your big smile, gift of the gab and smooth charm. You were the life of any party.
Thanks for the good times, Gary, I & all you young bucks, packing into our motorhome, catching the ferry, off to lion football game(s)
– your visits at our house.
You will be missed but not forgotten – you were like a part of our family. You helped make this world a better place.
