Daniel Lee Vredevoogd

​

Daniel Lee Vredevoogd, 67 years young, peacefully left this earth on May 21, 2021, with his wife and dearly loved children by his side, after a sudden and severe stroke. Known as Daddio, Dan the Man, Stones, and other fun-loving names, he was a positive, selfless, and hard-working man who enjoyed making people laugh. He led by example with his generous spirit and compassionate heart. As the owner of Rivertown Realty and Rivertown Homes By Design, he used his gifts of service and creative problem solving both in business and in his personal life by reaching out to others and helping wherever needed. He loved golfing with his buddies, vacations with his family to national parks, hiking, campfires, and spending time outdoors feeding the deer, wild turkeys, and birds that he loved to watch in his “backyard wildlife sanctuary”. His wife of 41 years, Denise, and their children, Aimie Joy, Daniel Justin, Kari Marie, and Jonathan and Sarah Vredevoogd are left with many precious memories, as are his sister and brother-in-law, Judy and Tom Syswerda; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Dave and Judy Graanstra, Vonda and Randy Buchman, Mike and Madonna Graanstra; parents-in-law, Bernard and Elsie Graanstra; uncle, Jim Lanting; many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins. He is now in Heaven with his parents, Don and Shirley Vredevoogd; nephew, Rick Hunderman; niece, Angela Drost; along with “the great cloud of witnesses”. I Thessalonians 4:13 reminds us that we “do not grieve as those who have no hope”, and we know that we will be with him again. Along with his family and so many dear friends, we will celebrate his life at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at Trinity Christian Reformed Church, 0-60 Port Sheldon SW, Grandville. Visitation will be on Tuesday, May 25 from 4-8 pm at the church. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Samaritan’s Purse (https://www.samaritanspurse.org)/ or Roblealto in Costa Rica (https://www.roblealto.org/donations/).
