David Allen Zuiderveen

David Allen Zuiderveen, age 67, of Hudsonville was welcomed home into the arms of Jesus in the early morning hours of July 19, 2024.

Born August 16, 1956, David followed in his father’s footsteps as a builder. In 2000, a massive heart attack took away his ability to work, but in turn gave him a second chance to repent and fully commit his life to the Lord, becoming living proof that God uses broken vessels for His glory. David found passion in Prison Ministry through ResLife Church and led many hearts to the Savior through his bold testimony and a faith that was even bigger than the towering man he was.

David was joyfully greeted at Heaven’s gates by his parents, Egbert and Alice (Landt) Zuiderveen; his brother, Larry Zuiderveen; his great-nephew, Steven Zuiderveen; his late wife, Kymberley Hampton; and those from Prison Ministry he helped lead to Christ who preceded him in death. 

He is survived by his wife, Julie VandePol Zuiderveen; his former wife and good friend, Cindy Zuiderveen; his brother, Ron (Irene) Zuiderveen; and his sister, Bev (Glen) Fraaza. 

His legacy of faith lives on through his children, Ryan (Tiffany) Garman, David (Tricia) Zuiderveen, Angie Forward, Carrie Boley, Michael (Taylor) Zuiderveen, Kaylor (Phil) Hibma; and stepchildren, Justin (Kayla) VandePol, Dana (Darren) Tigelaar, Joe (Mehr) VandePol, TJ (Jessica) Hampton, Jenni (Kevin) Fitzgerald and Shane (Megan) Hampton, whom altogether blessed him with 30 beautiful grandchildren that he loved with all of his heart. 

David cherished his large family, including many nieces and nephews, and all of the friends he gained throughout his life. His presence will be deeply missed by many.

Visitation will be held at Radiant Church, 8157 E DE Ave, Richland, MI 49083, on Monday, July 29, 2024, from 1:00-3:00 PM with a Celebration of Life immediately following.
