Monte worked for Sanitary Service Company for over 20 years. He was a lover of car shows, motorcycles, hot rods, and old school Rock n’ Roll. He was a member of the Mount Baker Motorcycle Club for years and had endless stories of Thursday nights spent at the racetrack with his kids. You could often find Monte in his shop toying with cars and listening to the radio.
Monte was a friend to all. He had a contagious heart and the warmest of smiles. His door was always open for anyone in need. Monte never let you leave without letting you know how important you are and what you meant to him. Monte loved his kids more than anything.
He was proceeded in death by his Son Axl Markusen-Nieuwendorp, Mother Connie Nieuwendorp, Brother Troy Nieuwendorp, Grandma Elaine Crabtree AKA ‘Unclemama’, and Aunt Billie Crabtree.
He is survived and missed by his children: Brock Nieuwendorp, Amber Horn, and Jesse Nieuwendorp, along with three children he raised as his own, Jordan (Penina) Craig, Amanda (Garrett) Craig and David Craig.

Monte, my fellow Elvis fan! You brightened my day when you walked into the office with that wonderful warm smile of yours. You always brought a smile to my face. I will always cherish the times when we met up at our Elvis impersonator shows. It was truly a blessing to have known you and had you as a friend. Warmest thoughts to your family. Debbie

Gratitude to have known Monte. A bright light to all who knew him. Always greeted with a bear hug and a smile. My favorite outings were a Tina Turner concert,gathering of friends at picnics and of course both our love for corvettes. Driving down Chuckanut to Edison was always fun. Monte made a difference in a lot of peoples lives just by being himself. Blessings to his family at this time. Pamela

I was so sad to hear of Monte passing. I have many fond memories of double dating with him and Kari in high school. Monte was such a sweetheart. He had the BEST smile and gave the best hugs! I will miss seeing him around. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Rest In Peace, Monte. You will never be forgotten.
