We said our final goodbyes to our one and only husband, dad, papa and pop-pop on Sunday, May 2 and Monday, May 3. The outpouring of love and support for our entire family is so appreciated. We would like to thank the Portage Police Department and especially Deputy Chief John Blue for all you did to honor him. We will never forget the beautiful send off on our way to the burial at Fort Custer (see video attached) and for your presence at the visitation and memorial service. To our family and friends that we were able to see in person and for those far away, thank you for loving us, holding us up when we thought we might fall, and for the many prayers. We had a beautiful weekend filled with love, laughter, and memories. To Pastor Pederson and Pastor Rachael, thank you for showing us God's love and promise of eternal life. 
Local friends-we are looking for a copy of the obituary published in Sunday's Kalamazoo Gazette. Thank you!
