Peter Jacob Tankink's Obituary
Peter was born on June 8, 1978 in Newport Beach, California to Mieke Maria Julia Jacobs and Johannes Leendert William Tankink. He passed on March 26, 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Peter had a degree in engineering, but should have been a chef. His passion for food to create something out of nothing was amazing and delicious. After living most of his life in Southern California, he finally settled in Salt Lake City, Utah. I believe his next dream was to move on to Idaho and have his own potato farm. Peter had an infectious smile, and his humor so dark you had to laugh. You will be missed little brother, we all love you so much!
Peter is survived by his father, Johannes; his son, Uriah, his daughter Chloe; his sisters, Tara, Michele and Adriana; by his brother Karel; his grandson, Nicholas and by his 10 nieces and nephews who he loved and touched deeply.
Peter was preceded in death by his mother, Mieke.
