He was preceded in death by his parents, Jim and Agnes VanHeulen of Byron Center, his in-laws, John and Phyllis Dykhouse of Hudsonville, MI, and his best friend, Joe Niewiek. Fred will be remembered for the memories and laughter he shared with his cousins and friends.

A Celebration of Life Service is planned for May 30th, 2023, at Douglas Walker Park Pavilion in Byron Center, MI. The service will begin at 5:30 pm, followed by a celebration with food, drinks, and “Freddy” stories.

The family expresses their gratitude to the Spectrum/Crowell Hospice team for their excellent care and compassion.
