Remembering Donald Wynalda

Donald Wynalda, age 85, of Wyoming, went home to be with his Lord on Friday, January 16, 2026. He was a faithful servant of Eighth Reformed Church in Wyoming, Michigan, where he served as both an elder and deacon. Known for his great sense of humor, he enjoyed hunting and loved to bowl. Alongside his father, he formed Ike and Don’s Tile Service, later continuing the work on his own as Don’s Tile Service after his father’s retirement. His dedication to his craft continued until he suffered a massive stroke on January 26, 2004.

He was preceded in death by his brothers and sister-in-law, Elmer and Betty Wynalda, Marvin Wynalda; brothers-in-law and sister-in-law, David Taylor, Ron Heyboer, Barb Taylor.
