Maikel Kuijpers

Maikel Kuijpers of Helmond, Netherlands and Sandyford, Dublin, Ireland died peacefully in his home in Aarle-Rixtel on Sunday, 26th January 2025.

Forever loved by his heartbroken wife Karen, parents Frank and Yvonne, sister Mandy, niece and nephew Mees and Guusje, his extended family and his wide circle of incredible friends.

Maikel’s love for adventure knew no bounds. He thrived in the outdoors and in the mountains and enjoyed seeking new adventures. It was that same adventurous spirit that brought him to Ireland in 2018. He quickly discovered his love of the Irish landscape and culture and it was here he met the love of his life, Karen. Together they built a beautiful life, exploring the world and having many adventures that will be etched in their hearts forever. Their love and the way they embraced life together was something truly special and touched all who experienced it.

Maikel was an extraordinary, kind, gentle, funny and curious person. A friend, a son, a brother and a husband who gave everything to his loved ones. We are grateful for all the moments we shared with him, for everything he meant to us and all the memories will remain in our hearts forever. We will never forget him and it was an honour to have known him.

Reposing at Oja, Maikel’s second home, in Aarle- Rixtel, Netherlands on Thursday 30th January from 4pm until 12.30am and moving to the crematorium in Beek en Donk on Friday 31st January for a service at 2.30pm (GMT+1)
