Poel, Ross William Ross William Poel, age 30, died of an undetected heart condition on Thursday, March 27, 2014. He is survived by his daughter, Natalie; parents, Bill and Kathy Poel; sister, Emily Poel and Erik Winter of Berlin, Germany; grandmothers, Doris Poel and Carolyn Morren; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Ross graduated from Grandville High School in 2002. He became ensnared in the monstrosity of a severe drug addiction. In 2010 he transformed his life and overcame his addiction to heroin after months of intensive treatment at CMI Abasto in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a unique program combining medical treatment with philosophical coaching. Ross’ dream and desire to help others struggling with addictions led to the creation of the Ross Poel Organization in 2012 (501C-3 nonprofit). His legacy of hope continues – www.rosspoelorganization.com. A Celebration of Ross’ Life will be held Wednesday at 10 AM at Fellowship Christian Reformed Church, 4375 Ivanrest, Grandville. The family will greet friends Tuesday from 2-4 and 7-9 PM at Matthysse-Kuiper-DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Drive SW. For those who wish to give memorial contributions, please consider the Ross Poel Organization.
