Mark Alan DeWilde passed away peacefully in the presence of loved ones on Monday, February 28, 2022 — his 65th birthday. He was preceded in death by his parents Jack and Mavis DeWilde and his brothers-in-law Tom Foy and Tim Woodhead. He is survived by his children Brenna (Justin) DeWilde, Burton (Nick) DeWilde, and Grant DeWilde; his sisters Mary Foy and Ruth Woodhead; and his cousin John (Cheryl) Hollander.
Mark loved working with his hands, and did so prodigiously for his whole life: in tool and die, home construction, car repair, and more. He enjoyed being outdoors in nature, especially when it involved hiking, fishing, or golfing. He was a voracious reader and lifelong learner who never stopped asking questions. Mark was — to put it charitably — very frugal, which is typically credited to his Dutch heritage and upbringing.
Mark's family is planning a remembrance of life celebration for Sunday April 10, 2022 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Charlie's Bar & Grille; 3519 Plainfield Ave. NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525. Cards and correspondence may be sent to family members c/o Reyers North Valley Chapel at 2815 Fuller Ave. NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49505.
