​

Kenneth Lee Holstege, age 71, of Allendale, passed away on Friday, October 29, 2021 and gained his eternal home in heaven. Ken was a loving husband, dad, and grandpa who dearly cherished his family. He always made it a priority to attend his children’s and grandchildren’s activities over the years and never missed a game. Ken was the co-owner of Lee’s Trenching, where many knew him as “Kenny”, and was a part of the company for 53 years. He was an avid animal lover, especially his horses and dogs. Over the years, Ken and his wife Mary traveled all over the United States attending his daughter Teresa’s horse shows and establishing many friendships.
