Calvin Dale Boes, 62, suddenly and peacefully left this world on 10/25/21 to watch over his beloved family and friends from above.
Cal lived in Zeeland, MI for over 60 years and spent most weekends and vacations at his second home in Ruby Creek, MI. Cal had a special love for his family, friends, dogs, and the great outdoors. He is survived by his soulmate and wife of 35 years Sally (Witteveen). Cal shared his joy of life with love for his two children; Heather Boes (boyfriend Niko Moreno) and Matt Boes (girlfriend Chloe Hussey) and his loyal chocolate lab, Hank.
He is also survived by his loving mother, Mildred Boes. Siblings; brother, Wayne & Sheri Boes, sisters, Kathy & Gary Mehrtens, Sheryl & Tom Dykstra, Faith & Chad Klungle, and Mary & Steve Jacobs. Nephews and nieces, Bill Boes (Kevin, Anora & Dante), Sam & Melody Mehrtens (Lincoln & Walker), Joe Mehrtens, Anne & Michael Ulanski (Maxwell, Monroe & Mia), Kyle & Chelsea Dykstra (Ellyson & Dreyson), Kelsey & Nathan Docken, Emily Dykstra, Corey Klungle (fiancé Lauren Anderson), Brandon Klungle, Amanda & Jonathan Acker (Theron & Dalston) and Kelli & Steve Steggerda (Blake).
He is preceded in death by his father, Harry Boes, niece, Robin Boes, father and mother-in-law, Jerry and Jean Witteveen, and brother in law, Steve Witteveen.
Calvin graduated from Zeeland High School in 1978. He worked for 41 years at Herman Miller in Zeeland. He enjoyed his property up north in “Ruby Creek” and he retired there in May of 2020. In his younger years, he enjoyed racing his 1968 Z28 white Camaro (which his nephew Joe now owns). He was an avid hunter and also enjoyed family gatherings up north. These wonderful times will live on in the memories of his family and friends.
His family greatly appreciates the outpouring of love, thoughts, and prayers and asks for time to absorb the sudden loss of their dear husband and dad.
No funeral or visitation is planned.
