Joel A. Wagner

Joel A. Wagner, age 47, of Grandville, accomplished his goal to be with his Jesus on Tuesday, February 13, 2024. His father, Jim Wagner, preceded him in death as well as his grandparents, Adrian and Janet Mohr, and Milton and Connie Wagner. Joel leaves behind the family he loved so much: his mother, Shirley Wagner; sisters; Jennifer and Tom Vanden Bosch, Jodi and Tim Koster; nieces and nephews, Nicole and Cameron Minney, Nathan Vanden Bosch, Lauren Koster, and Anna Koster; great-niece and great-nephew, Eleanor Minney, and Henry Minney; uncles and aunts, Dick and Arlene Mohr; Dave Wagner, Bob and Idelle Wagner; and many cousins. Joel loved to watch his Jesus movies and sing along to the music of The Oak Ridge Boys. He also enjoyed his summer job mowing his sister’s lawn. Joel was a big MSU fan, always wearing a green and white MSU t-shirt. His firm handshake will be missed by many. A time of visitation with his family will be held on Monday, February 19, 2024, from 4-8 p.m. at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW. Following a private service, burial will be held at Grandville Cemetery. “Jesus loves me, this I know. I love Jesus, this He Knows.”
