October 21, 2024

David “Rainmaker” Ymker, age 63, of Jenison, reached his final destination on Monday, October 21, 2024 and is now rejoicing in heaven with his Lord and Savior. Dave loved people and befriended anyone; it is often said Dave never met a stranger. He was a trucker for 40 years. Dave loved his family and will be deeply missed by his wife of 42 years, Kathy; children and grandchildren, Robert and Kristie Ymker (David, Addie, Kirbie), Jake Ymker, Krista and Andrew Brocker (Shelby, Hudson); mother, Karen Ymker; sister, Deb and Ken Nykamp; brother, Doug and Tina Ymker; best friend, Dale and Marisol Oosterink; and many nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at 11:30 am at Fair Haven Church, 2900 Baldwin St., Hudsonville with Pastor Jeremy Kreuze officiating. Relatives and friends may visit with the family 10:30 - 11:15 am prior to the service at church.

Dave was one of the best neighbors we could ever ask for. Whenever we needed anything, he was there, sleeves rolled up and ready to help, offering a warm smile and a willing hand. Whether it was lending a tool to make a task easier, giving guidance, or simply providing support, his kindness and generosity were always offered without hesitation. Dave’s presence truly brightened our neighborhood. He was also an inspiration in his relationship with Kathy. Their anniversary fell close to ours, and he was a devoted husband and best friend to her. Their bond was a beautiful testament to love and companionship, and the warmth of his laughter—or the joy of him making Kathy laugh—carried over to our home in the most comforting way. His spirit and presence will be deeply missed.
