In Memoriam : Arian Groot

Dear Valued Customers, Industry Partners, & Industry Friends.

It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Arian Groot, who passed away last weekend as a result of a stroke.

Arian has been an integral part of our team for 40 years. During this time, Arian made invaluable contributions to our organization, demonstrating his expertise in the international egg industry, his dedication to serving our customers, and his ongoing passion for chickens. His unwavering commitment and genuine interest in the business and the people behind it touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of working with Arian.

We understand that this news may come as a shock to many of you who had the opportunity to collaborate with Arian. He played a crucial role in our joint efforts and projects, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.

As we navigate through this difficult time, we remain committed to continuing the high standards of service and collaboration that Arian championed. We are grateful for your understanding and support as we mourn the loss of a dear colleague and friend.

Should you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your thoughts and condolences during this time of sorrow. All condolences can be sent to Villa de Körver, or via e-mail, from where we will ensure they are shared with Arian’s beloved family.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Dutch Brain Foundation: Doneer - Hersenstichting or your local brain research foundation.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

In loving memory of Arian Groot
