David N. Van De Laare Obituary

We are sad to announce that on August 4, 2024 we had to say goodbye to David N. Van De Laare of Plainwell, Michigan, born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As David departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though David may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy David leaves behind.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Nelson De and Georgia Van De (Groves); his son Michael Van De Laare; and his sister Joyce Pope (William). He is survived by: his wife Cheryl Van De (Charkowski); his daughter Kristina Goudie; his granddaughter Gabriella Goudie; his sister Marilyn Hardin (Robert); and his brothers-in-law, Dennis Charkowski (Colleen) and Jim Charkowski (Sherry). He is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and friends.
