David Gaberdiel

David Lee Gaberdiel, age 44, of Jenison, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, November 28, 2016. He was preceded in death by his father, Martin Gaberdiel, and his stepfather, Paul Kroll. David was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who treasured his family. He was a friend to many, and always put others before himself. If there was something to be done, David was always there to help in any way he could. He had a love for the outdoors, enjoying hunting and ice fishing, but most of all, he was the number one University of Michigan fan. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Valerie; his children, Courtney, and Jake Gaberdiel, Niki and Jeff Kamer, Natasha Bramer; grandchildren, Tyra, Desirae, Caleb; mother, Barbara Kroll; brother, Jeff and Julie Gaberdiel, sister, Kristin and Jimmy DeGroot; stepbrothers and stepsister, Shelly and Doug Baas, Brent and Tami Kroll, Matthew Kroll; many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held on  Friday, December 2, 2016 at 11 am at Fellowship Reformed Church, 6610 36th Ave., Hudsonville with Pastor Shawn Hulst officiating.  Relatives and friends may meet the family on Thursday from 3-5 and 6-8 pm also at Fellowship Reformed Church. Please enter through doors “C” and “D”. Because David was able to give the gift of life to others through organ donation, the family suggests memorial contributions be given to Gift of Life Michigan.
