David W. Felicelli, age 52 of Holland, passed away Wednesday, January 11, 2023, from complications of cancer he had been battling.
Dave was born in Milwaukee, WI, and lived in Kenosha, Wisconsin until he was 9 years old when his family relocated to Northville, MI. He graduated from Northville High School and continued his education at Alma College, where he played football for the Scots and was a member of the TKE Fraternity. Dave loved to cook and entertain; from organizing family poker nights to football tailgates at MSU football games, and even being the Fantasy Football commissioner. He loved playing golf with family and friends. A Scout BSA and Venturing Leader, Dave was involved in many programs, had a career as a chemist, and was a Catechist at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, where he was a member.
