Vitam Coelo Reddiderunt: Fr. Edgar Koning, O.Carm

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Fr. Edgar Koning, O.Carm. Fr. Edgar was born in 1932 in the Netherlands, made his first profession as a Carmelite in 1954, was ordained a priest in 1960. He served the Order both in the Netherlands and in the Philippines. He died today (03/31/2020), as a result of Covid-19.  He was 87. The General Curia extends its condolences to the Dutch Province and to Fr. Edgar's family.

May he rest in peace.

 

“The death of Edgar has been a hard blow to many people,” said Fr. Ben Wolbers, Co-Provincial of the Dutch Carmelites, in a letter to his confreres. “Caring for mutual solidarity, connectedness and respect for the uniqueness of each person – that really characterized him,” he said. Fr. Koning was laid to rest on April 4 in the town of Zenderen, where he was last assigned as Prior of the Carmelite’s convent.
