The Congregation of The Rock Church salutes the life of Rev. Gerald Klooster. To his congregation, he was a strong, bold, motivating, and passionate leader who taught the Bible with conviction. To so many others he was an influential, respected, honored, and dearly loved friend.

His precious life was cut short by a tragic motorcycle accident, and Rev. Gerry will be sorely missed by many. His life’s influence is seamlessly woven throughout the lives of people all over the world. His fingerprints remain on our lives as a reminder of his effect on us all.

Surely, he would want us to continue the work! He would tell us to fight even harder! We must keep looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Scripted in the front cover of his Bible and later his headstone, were the words, “To know Him and make Him known.” He absolutely loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus.

In loving memory:

Rev. Gerald G. Klooster

February 12, 1957 – June 16, 2009
