Dan Hassevoort

Danny Lee Hassevoort, age 48, of West Olive, stepped into the glories of Heaven on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Dan was an avid outdoorsman who had a passion for adventure and the great outdoors. In his younger years, he enjoyed dirt biking, and more recently, he found great joy in fishing, operating his own charter fishing business, Angler One. Captain Dan ran his charter business for over 20 years and was the 2008 FLW Walleye Angler of the Year. He was also an enthusiastic hunter who proudly brought home a buck every year. Dan was a dedicated and highly skilled heavy equipment mechanic who worked at Michigan Cat for 30 years. When he wasn't working or enjoying the outdoors, Dan treasured the companionship of his beloved dog, Haley, who was his loyal companion and best friend. 

Dan is survived by his parents, Jim and Dee Hassevoort; brother, Darrin (Christine) Hassevoort; sister, Darla (Brad) Pepper; nieces and nephew, Justine Bouwkamp, Jael Groen, Sophia Hassevoort, and Ian Hassevoort. He was welcomed into Heaven by his nephew, Preston Pepper.
